I had a chance
To take you in my mouth
Okay wait
Let me slow down
Breathe a moment
Grab the leftovers
Hold on
I don’t have the qualifications
To unpack that
But I can open up
To becoming more excellent
Future up to being
More extenuating
Less guarded
More humanly susceptible
My finest grace will be
Not to become a ghostly version
Of myself

Here’s a new covenant
Maybe I care less
Maybe there’s no reason to care more
If we already care enough
It’s also important to learn
Not to give a shit
So much of my life has been
Caring so much
What if caring too much
Left no room for mistakes
Left no room for badass moments
Maybe a pandemic is
The perfect opportunity
To learn how to be free
Such is the way for a flower to bloom
In the soil of badass moments
And a quest to hold onto
The sensitivity I have gained
But now the inner strength
Of self discovery
No longer bending over
To be walked all over
Maybe too much for some
Is my personality
And maybe
It’s time to be okay with
How I am
To feel okay with the excitement
Embrace the strength
Breaking out wild and soft
With grace
