i take one step
it feels tentative, scary
but i stay there
i wait, i breathe
i’m okay
i walk another step
it feels a tiny bit easier
i straighten my spine
i wait, i breathe
i’m okay
i risk a third step
it feels stronger, bolder
i smile a small smile
i wait, i breathe
i’m okay
i take a fourth and final step
and it feels expansive
now i know
i don’t need to wait any longer
i’m breathing deeply
i’ll be okay
“life dances and you must dance with it.”
