It Really Happened

Suddenly, I am jolted by the fact that I am going 65 miles an hour on the highway

and I don't know where I am going

I see it is sunny

a few puffy clouds in the sky seem familiar

A part of me says, "take the exit"

quickly I obey

Winding down to the stop sign

I am sweating

squeezing the steering wheel

Then I see the water in front of me

and my body relaxes a bit, ahh

Yes!

The park on the bay,

on the way to therapy, I breath relief

I am ok...

Remember, there is a part of you that will keep you safe

that wants to live; to thrive
