What’s a moment in your life that made you feel truly alive?
In this fast-paced life,
with all the strife,
from pillar to post
until you are toast,
swinging from one monkey bar
into another human bar,
feeling numb,
from being under the thumb,
you try to find some ground.
Grounding.
You nap, journal, watch your comfort show,
go for a walk, talk to loved ones,
or compartmentalise.
Which is a lie.
The shower,
free from music,
an audiobook,
or a podcast through your Bluetooth speaker,
leaves you in your own tower,
with nothing else
but to think.
Think, think, think,
like the showers of hot water on your skin.
You find the answer
to whatever you wanted clarity on.
The joy of getting to it
all on your own.
Reminded.
that beneath all the noise,
you are alive.
