A View With Some Room

The calm kept me cool
While time curled into a string
Bound tight and secure
Waiting to unwind and reveal everything

I liked being small
Invisible to the knowing
That chokes me now
And tells me I'm not possible today

Maybe I will step away
To watch people being just so
And laugh, then cry
Because I remember it all.

Now I keep time
with the rising and falling
of every single breath
And my eyes close to sleep.
