I should have known,
I should have had some Faith.
I should have waited,
remembering to breathe
and just let go,
instead of clinging to this
creeping paranoia.
I do this more often
than I’d like.
Even with all of the
solid ground beneath me,
I still feel the vertigo,
as if I am dizzy.
I speak the words,
but I don’t believe them.
I’m falling for
the oldest trick in the book.
I should have known
the sky would stay above me.
I should have known
that all the threats were empty.
I should have known
that the outcomes were many.
I should have known
that the only way to survive this,
is to be patient.
I guess I know that, now.
