Day 5 - Unhurriedly

 Trying to ease into adulthood is hard, 

When the world keeps bustling with instructions. 

Where even the trees sway in a hurry, 

How do you expect me to be still. 

But I believe the damage is done, 

For I panic when I take one lazy day, 

Or I internalize rest is only allowed after work, 

Or how I am in a hurry even when I relax. 

 I want to break free from this world, 

And find my way, unhurriedly. 

I would lay down on the grass with you beside me, 

And think a whole lot about how the trees are so calm. 

I would turn off my mind and hurrying people

On days when the world seems heavy. 

I would live as the crazy woman who talks to trees, 

And slowly heal myself to live the life I always meant to.
