In another life

I was holding too tight

Nervous about losing touch

Crashing down from a dream

Too much gravity

I came smashing down

Into actual reality

*

Waking up to the next scene

Completely normal

Not super at everything

Too long straining at the edges

That was long ago

Now it’s all smoothed out

Our hearts are strong

Like our new pledges

*

I do solemnly swear

To work to stay aware

Of more ways to care

About each other

About the season

And good reason

*

To be fair

*

I will try to reach a healthier reality

And hold on to good connection

so it’s easier to share

And to be fair

**

In my current life

I try to hold on just right

Not fixate or stress out too much

Splashing down from a dream

Normal gravity

I come walking down

Into actual reality

*

Opening up to the next scene

Completely intense

So super at everything

Use our brain to soothe the edges

This day has long to go

Now it’s all smoothed out

Our hearts are strong

Like our firm pledges

*

I assure you:

I an totally prepared

And work to stay aware

Of more ways to care

About each other

About the season

And good reason

*

To be fair

*

I do strive to reach a healthier reality

And hold on to good connection

so it’s easier to share

And to be fair

*

I hold on to calm reflection
