Expand in Trust

I wish I could say that this was easy.

Easy for me to trust.

Easy for me to believe.

Easy for me to let go.

But I would be lying.

Trust has never come easy.

Not since I learned how to breathe.

Which also happens to sometimes

Be especially hard for me.

Hard to remember to take in breath.

Believe that I have a right to inhale

Air that perhaps wasn’t meant for me.

Yet I know, that these things aren’t true.

They are lies told to me

At an age very young and unsure.

So now here I sit reminding myself and you.

That if you can trust, it will expand.

Into places you’d never quite planned.
