you will be

i know that there are people
out in the world
who feel like they have lost
all hope.
they feel like they're standing up
on a ridiculously fast bus
juggling seven ten-pound weights
that are all on fire.

this might sound preachy
but it's going to be
okay.
put down the flaming objects,
take a seat,
breathe.

things will get better.
even if you aren't okay now,
you will be.
