I.
the air weighs so much more
when the only thoughts you have
are of falling.
gravity takes it upon himself to
push you under,
pull you low,
press you flat.

II.
love will find you if you
wait.

III.
wear your inkstains on your sleeve and
melt your heart into words because
sometimes you just have to
take a risk.

IV.
the earth will never stop turning, but you
can gather all your contradictions and
expel the doubts within to just take
a deep
breath
