how to fly

dad said

focus on what you’re good at

and that which you enjoy

chewed this over

perhaps I would only ever be

good at something

I enjoyed.

maturity

a wet blanket

These things

I still chew

realizing now

the things I’m good at and that which i enjoy

are only my blessings

that which I struggle with disturbs, disrupts and challenges

these are my real companions with lessons worth a listen

the rival of an equal

the scent of the impossible

laughing, I think,

butterflies teach themselves

how to fly
