Good for Me?

Do I take a chance, dance with romance

In a tango towards a tasteful tangent?

Fly free from faintly fading fears,

Or chase change encaged, cautious with cheer?

​

This could be good for me,

If I just take a second to breathe.

Take stock of the sights I see,

Tear the obscene posters from memory.

​

I won't lie, this has me reeling,

Weightless from gravitational feelings.

Directed by an unpredicted normal,

Questioning everything I thought was cardinal.

​

This could be good for me,

If I just take a second to breathe.

Clear away the relational debris,

Say farewell to ghosts of what used to be.

​

But, I've crashed and burned before,

And I've trust issues galore.

A broken heart that parts the sea

For others to love and leave.

​

This could be good for me,

If I just take a second to breathe.

Remember these occasions are key

Before worrying about the apogee.

​

This could be good for me.

Time to make a wish and believe,

I bid adieu to the ill-fated would-be's,

This is the moment to seize.
