one step

i take one step it feels tentative, scary

but i stay there i wait, i breathe i'm okay     i walk another step it feels a tiny bit easier

i straighten my spine i wait, i breathe i'm okay     i risk a third step it feels stronger, bolder

i smile a small smile i wait, i breathe i'm okay     i take a fourth and final step and it feels expansive

now i know i don't need to wait any longer i'm breathing deeply

i'll be okay     "life dances and you must dance with it." ~phillip moffitt         tweet
