Perspective, My Friend



Perspective, my friend

A promise to self, not again

Not again shall I be in a place of uncertainty


A time when things change drastically

At the slight semblance of stability


Not another time

Of wondering where I'm going next

Anticipating when and how I get there


Yet, here I am

Back in this oddly familiar place


I visit it so often

It feels like I never leave


I found a friend

Through these frequent visits


Her name is Perspective


Some days I choose not to see her

Sometimes she wishes to hide


It takes a bit of time

For me to let her in

But once I do

She wraps herself around me


She says

You know things go up and down


So is it really the uncertainty

Or the consequences that it brings?


Uncertainty in a low stakes situation

Perhaps in a pleasant event


Would that still keep you so distressed?


She makes me ponder

And gives me her gift


Shows me

Things that feel more certain today

Than they did previously


Reminds me

I have been here before


Whispers to me

We can do it again


Though she can feel like a stranger

And moments of doubts creep in


I close my eyes and take the leap


Together we give in

Surrender to uncertainty

Discover strength and resiliency


Together we evolve

Together we grow
