i can see my future.

it's light blue,
a colour of peace
and serenity and
contentment.

i don't need a crystal
ball or psychic abilities.

i have ambition under
my skin and in my veins
and i am going to
provide for myself
the life that i deserve.

i can see my future home.

the walls are light blue.
it's a house i got for
myself and it's filled
with artwork and plants
and decorations i picked out.

i can see my future,

and it's light blue,
and i'm dancing around
my kitchen and singing
my favourite songs
and watering my plants
and listening to the rain
sliding down my windows.

i can see my future,

and all of the worries
that plague my mind today have left me,
and i am free of dramatic
people, and i am loved
the way i want to be loved,
and i smile at my reflection
and my poems are full of light.

i can see my future
and it's the most
beautiful shade
of blue you've
ever seen.
and my habit
of being too
self-sufficient
for my own good
has payed off.
i let go of my anger
and i let the light
sky blue seep into
my skin.

i can see my future:
i am okay.
