Yo.

Today I opened my eyes

on that string I often find myself on

and I began my day on the up

I almost got stuck on the up

like when you get that gnarly tangle

the one where you have to ask your brother to get out for you

and then he breaks your string

I almost asked to get untangled

I was ready for the breaking

but then we went for a swim

in water that was so fluid you couldn't help but loosen up

I did the dance, the one that untangled me

and let go a little more

and throughout the day

I continued to let go

until night fell

and I touched the ground

when I did

I liked what I felt

on this ground is trust

solid faithful trust

I have landed

and I'm not going back up that string

not because I'm afraid to get tangled

but because you don't have me on a yo-yo
