Everything was like shadows

Everything was like shadows

Like swimming through pudding

Like not wearing my glasses

And to be clear, my vision is not clear, it’s like 400/20 not 20/20

She said you feel like you’re a baby bird, but when I look at you 

I do not see a baby bird

I said but I can’t make decisions, I AM a baby bird

She said you can make decisions, you just decided to quit your job and move home, back home, leaving one continent for another. What a huge decision and YOU made it!

I said but everyone was telling me I should go home

I was just a baby bird

Doing what I’m told

Running away home

Like a baby to mommy and daddy

She said that doesn’t matter if they told you to, you made the ultimate decision, right or wrong, you can clearly make a decision, that is a fact and I respect it a lot and you should be proud of yourself for making the decision

You’re not really a baby bird

And I began to believe her just a tiny bit

Like how you can just barely see a shadow

Or without glasses

Or swim through pudding
