Poem
You climb on board a ride
On a bright Disneyland day
An afternoon filled with fun
An opportunity to play
In a moment you’re transported
Into a fantasy land
There are trees dripping gold
And high dunes of pink sand
You enter a tunnel that’s dark
You can barely see
But from beneath a small light
You see a girl sitting alone
And realize that’s me
It’s the you who has been worried
All of this past week
Who has been drowning in fear
To the point you feel weak
Before you can look too closely
You pass into a new space
You see yourself 1 year from now
In a faraway place
There are quaint buildings lining a street
That are aged with history
You look so in awe
As if the city is a great mystery
A new dynamic, a new perspective
A fresh outlook on life
There is music that fills your soul
And you take in all the sights
The well-worn streets remind you
Of everyone who has come before
While the novelty of their charm
Unlock internal closed doors
The ride moves on as you catch a glimpse
Of the wide smile on your face
And move onto the next scene
Of a more familiar place
You see yourself laughing
2 years from today
In your home where some things are new
And some things have stayed the same
You are content and at peace
A calm that’s hard to describe
You embody a bold confidence
You wear your strength with pride
You are surrounded by family
And friends who you adore
Including a partner you love
In a way you haven’t felt before
The ride slowly moves on
And you are met with daylight
You armed with a new knowing
That everything will be alright.
Let's BREATHE
Together
