The Tiniest of Things

some t i m e s
things just don’t f e e l right
and it can be the
t i n i e s t
of things that
sets a whole
avalanche into
d i s o r d e r
like a word
unsaid or
a reaction not met or
an expectation 
unfulfilled or
a taking back of
something given or
an unreturned gaze
when it used to
go all the way
to your heart
and come back 
a million times
stronger but
suddenly just
falls flat
and deadlines
like a leaf floating in
water
unable to ever reanimate
into the sky
to levitate, fly or
even falter
some t i m e s
it’s just a strange feeling
a reminder from around the
corner of the future
a dog-eared page in a book
that reminds you with 
spidey-senses foreshadowing the future
based on what you’ve seen in your past
that pain lies ahead
that maybe you’ve revealed too much of your heart
that maybe you’ve been just a bit too loud
that maybe you should just shut-up
that maybe you should cover-up
and maybe you should dim-down
and maybe you should not share so much
or care so much or 
be so much
or just
stop
some t i m e s
it is so very hard
to stand your ground 
in love, in life
to say you deserve to stand here
to say what you want
to feel how you feel
to share all your heart
to care
to create and let it be 
(perfect or not)
to live as you are
and not let the actions of others 
make you take back your words
because your life is your own narration
and you must tell the story truthfully
and in your honesty there is a beauty
that may not be agreed upon or seen by everyone
but this is the wonderful diversity of humanity
you are the only you there is
and your thoughts and feelings and fears are valid
and the love you give is added 
to the blood bank of good things in this world
so never take it back and
never regret your creative expressions
for they too are now a part of the history of the wonders
of this incredibly unique earth we've been given
