I have you.


Dear You,

 

You controlled everything.

Everything.

You made the world feel small,

And large,

And like everyone was looking at me as though I was a fish,

Swimming,

Swimming,

Forgetting about the world passing all

The sights I forgot to be watching.

 

You controlled everything.

Everything.

You made the world feel grand,

Like I was the ultimate woman,

Standing on top of a mountain,

Or desert sand, not slipping through the grains of the world,

The troubles in the wind,

Pushing me back and forth, through and to,

You made the world feel extraordinarily new.

 

You controlled everything.

Everything.

But here I am,

Standing tall,

Standing small,

With the power I know I have.

I have freewill,

And faith,

Love and heart that makes me feel,

Like I control everything,

Everything.

Because I do.

Because I have you.

 

Confidence.
