To Be

January 4, 2015

To speak without the fear of future regret

To be able to run forever without the fear of falling

To know that I can speak without,

minutes, seconds, hours, days, years

later, wanting to change or take back what was said

To hope that what was said wont be reshared or changed

To hope that what is said wont lead to embarrassment

To do with out being judged

To be able to dance alone with only my self watching every step

To know that I can do without,

minutes, seconds, hours, days, years

later, wanting to change or take back what was done

To hope that what is done wont lead to embarrassment

To future fear and regret

To constantly be struggling to get past "what if" and future "remember when"

To know that I will or won't speak without,

minutes, seconds, hours, days, years

later, wanting to change or take back what was done

To know that what is done wont lead to embarrassment, is impossible
