in a world filled
with noise and
distraction at
every corner
to be still feels
uncomfortable
uncertain
unknown
Can I be okay
without reacting,
over-reaching,
over-extending of
my attention and energy?
Can I take it inside
back into the dark
depths of belonging
without answer
without another thought?
In that sacred space,
I find wholeness
back to my center
back to balance
back to the child within
who wasn’t bombarded by
media and norms that
I could never truly fit into
I breathe
and find reprieve
in just a few moments
I return home
