Fix it


Fix it, the bed you wake up in
Fix the mattress. The place you call a casket for your dead dreams
 
Fix it. Good,
 
Now breathe
 
Look at the outlet you call broken and
 
Know  that you’re lack of motivation is not burn out and you are no blown fuse.
 
Fix it
 
The way you did the first time
How your  muse told you as long as you were true 
 
You would never have to experience another eviction 
 
Because your heart was home. 
 
So fix that . Fix your phone,
 
The line that has been disconnected from reality.  Has you waiting for a call from your past
 
To Tell you that it’s sorry.
 
I’m sorry
 
This callings come from the present
 
Says in a precious voice, “You are going to make it .”
 
Understand
 That you are only human
 
Consumed with pressures that makes you want to look in mirror
 
And try to fix it
 
But
 
You are
 
only human
 
So take a second
 
Breathe
 
And then walk over to the blinder that has shadowed you from your sense of beautiful
 
And fix it
