Squeezed

Squeezed into a little space
That’s how it sometimes feels
My thoughts, my life could be so BIG
They’re nipping at my heels
Check that box there’s not much time
Let’s get it done right now
I feel I could be so much more
If I only knew just how
I need some time, I need more space
To sit, unfold and BE
Would be a gift, unheard of bliss
To take this just for ME
I need to take the risk you see
Be willing to rock the boat
For if I don’t, if I’m too afraid
The scream dies, silent in my throat
