learning to trust myself: <br />each breath I take is a reflex <br />but each word that was said before was an act <br />and I need to learn control. <br /> <br />I am thankful the heart is automatic: <br />manual would be unbearable, yet <br />delusions of freedom obscure <br />and I wonder if my mechanical system <br />requires a mechanic <br /> <br />I need to trust myself <br />and move less gracefully: <br />life is not a race to the finish line, <br />we're not boats in the water in currents or flows. <br /> <br />life is a physical and mental experience: <br />remembering and feeling and forgetting- <br />striving for that heavy 'something' <br />learning to trust one's self: <br />being is easy, <br />being who you want to be - is life.<br /><br />Sarah Cotnam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/young-philosophies-of-a-changing-heart/
