You can’t put on a light
and call it the sun.
You’ll never get warmed by a switch

You can’t put out your arms
and think you’ll fly.
You’ll never get wings by a wish.

You can’t paint up your eyes
if you’ve been crying.
You’ll never be happy by exterior coating.

Some days
no matter how hard you try
nothing is coming.

Don’t force it to happen.
Soon you’ll be dancing
when you realize that
nothing stays forever the same exact way
even if forever seems like years –
it will change
