I'm goodness

and goodness is me
it's something to strive for
taking "integrity", dropping it, holding on
smiling a second longer, thinking farther,
saying tiny nice things because i know it makes a difference
this is like my daily goal
it's springtime mackenzie with blue nails and fresh perspective
i feel like its a nice direction to take
it already tops my past mentalities
that all, somehow, we're hyper focused on me alone
what's surprising though, is that it isn't difficult
at all
and with every "would you like me to..." and every "cute shoes!",
i feel a little lighter
all the drops of sorrow leftover,
every self-pity, every battle scar fades like weak stain
and is replaced by new clean summer skin and honestly open eyes

i would compare it to my dream of gliding through the sky
and skimming the earths surface with closed eyes, bathed in warmth
going anywhere at all with my brand new wing span,
just because i could
because i can
because i am
