Chill
You are the deer jumping
to escape the spring snare
the more you jump you realize that
escape is close
You are the amateur pianist
playing notes in cacophony
playing a D instead of a F
playing a C instead of a G
don’t make steps that will be
misunderstood by others
You are the haughty celebrity
nimble on your work
yet gullible to the comments
on the internet
don’t perceive yourself
with the eyes of others
see yourself
with your own naked eyes
Sing listen laugh eat play and observe
just relax for a minute
don’t avoid yourself
be true to yourself
before you know
others will too
