Lip Curl

If you stay put
and take no chances
You'll never see the mare
as it prances
Across the plain
of possibility
And splash in the sea
of virility
Instead your mind
will stay chained
To the thoughts
you have engrained
In your mind
the thoughts repeat
Never ending
to a nauseous beat
One foot
in front the other
One after one
after another
The hardest steps
are the first you take
Because once you start
you'll feel the ache
That's your feelings
coming through
Buried deep
and black and blue
Like running blind
into a brightened room
The pain hides
the growing bloom
Behind this pain
there lies another place
Trust and honesty
fill this space
Balance is abundant
along this chosen route
Laughter echoes
doubt is drowned out
Each step you take
the bloom's blossoms twirl
Each step you take
I see your lips curl
Each step you take
heals your soul
Bringing you closer
to becoming whole
In this journey
if you need someone near
Say my name
I'm just right here.
