You should step outside yourself
\nsometime.
\nTake a breather.
\nSee what you find without your body.
\nSomeone you don\u2019t recognize.
\nIt\u2019s like chasing your shadow
\nwith nothing in it.
\nTaking a swim with no trunks on
\nand coming out of the water
\nclean and glowing.
\nHow weightless the world feels
\nwhen there\u2019s nothing on you.
\nNot heavy and cold,
\nlike sunshine doesn\u2019t count.<\/p>\n
And you realize
\nthe world doesn\u2019t ask for much,
\nexcept to be listened to
\nonce in a while.
\nHear the wind blow
\nasking for a dance.
\nWatch clouds pass over
\nin love with the sky.
\nIn the whole reach of the universe
\nwhere else
\nis such a blue,
\nsuch a gray?<\/p>\n
And maybe,
\njust maybe,
\nyou\u2019ll find someone you\u2019d like to know.
\nBe friends with.
\nTalk about the weather.
\nWhere you\u2019ve been
\nand where you\u2019re going.
\nAnd like every new relationship,
\nshy and exciting,
\nyou\u2019d like to see this person again
\nwho lives in the shadow
\nyou cast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
