Easy Now

Shush mi corazón

No need for tears

Compose yourself, little me

Because how you are today

Isn’t how you’re always going to be

You feel disintegrated

And the sharpness of your fears

The acidity of consequences

Both ephemeral and fleeting

You are not undone

Rather, only just begun

You are just now learning

Strengths and limitations

Your heart’s desire and heart’s lament

Sophomorically proclaiming what you know

And don’t know yet

You’ll get there one day, but for now

Just wait.

Slow down; no hurry

The dreams you dream up are to be enjoyed

It’s sweet to dream

But dreams are rightfully forgotten

And achieved in their own time

Sounds contrary, yet both are true

Try not to worry

It doesn’t serve you well

Put aside insecurities for now

They are like weeds blocking out your sun

Let me take care of that for you

Little one

Easy now

Take it easy on yourself

Baby steps and life in small chunks

You get there soon enough

But for now, try to just rest

Easy now
