Float Freely

Feel, heal, and be me

I want to float through my emotions like jellyfish float in the ocean. Jellyfish symbolize inner strength, resilience, and going with the flow. Photo by on

Can I feel and still be here?
Is my vision crystal clear?
For the life that I’m creating
I’m so tired of contemplating
the ifs and buts, anticipating
anxious thoughts are always waiting
in the clamorous corners of my mind
lusting for my attention and time

I’m trying to take matters into my own hands
releasing the need to understand
this fixed hourglass of slipping sand
on this spinning sphere of longing lands
full of sweet, sincere, souls, like myself
who are working hard to heal their mental health

it seems like society infiltrates us with insecurity
lately, I’ve been trying to find what’s sure in me
in my dreams and life’s scenes I’ve seen gorgeous glimpses
of my highest self, poised in presence, and tuned in to my senses
relishing in the true, treasured essence of my inner being
laughing, learning, and loving feels so freeing
