Loosen Up

You tie yourself up in knots,
sometimes even breath you cannot. 
You sigh and wonder is this your lot?
But I love it most yes
when you rise
when you shake off the gloom
pick up yourself and make room
room for joy, peace, that creative dome
When you smile and build up your strength, 
when you dance and sing in the shower at length,
when you laugh and dance in the rain,
when with heart, soul and mind,
your work shines like gold.
I love it best when you take chances,
try and do not cower, 
in my heart then you reign,
when you let go and loosen up.
