Ready, Set, Rewind

When You Think You're Ready, but the Universe Doesn't Agree

There's a time and a place for everything

Whether you're ready for it or not

One day you're feeling confident

But in the same moment you're forced to stop

Forced to stop and take a breath

It's time to reflect what you've been through

You want to run and jump and just escape

You want to fly up to where it's blue

Then as soon as you leave the ground

And you feel you're ready to let go

A sudden gust of wind comes through

It hits you hard which lets you know

It lets you know that you're not ready

Oh how you wish to leave nightmares behind

But all it takes is that gust of wind

To make you go from ready and set to rewind.

You can ask me how I am doing... and I’ll reply with “I’m good.” But if you really want to know how I am doing... these poems are how I’ll be understood.
