My Mental Handstand
Maybe I just needed a hand
A hand to show there is someone
Someone who genuinely cares
Cares that I lack trust
Cares that I lack faith
In me ... sometimes
Maybe I just needed a patient hand
A none judgemental hand
An open hand
That didn’t hold pent up tension
Cramping with every tentative grasp
Maybe in the face of uncertainty
That was the only hand I needed
A strong hand
To lead me through a fragile state
To my old handstand
That didn’t require any physicality
- my own mental handstand-
