Leash

If you wanna attach to me
get your ass to therapy.
I get real, real quick and you might
find your reality
shifts
uncomfortably in ways you didn’t expect.

If you need me to constantly slow
down
shift gears
just so you can keep up?

Does it make you feel powerful to slow us down?

If you loved us,
you’d take us to the field and watch us run.
We’d go speeds and directions you never could.
You could feed us your observations,
being seen is a big part of love.

So if you don’t want to be a safe harbor in places
too dark or strange for you to go.
Leave us be,
We need room to grow.
