To Be

To speak without the fear of future regret
 
To be able to run forever without the fear of falling
 
To know that I can speak without, 
minutes, seconds, hours, days, years 
later, wanting to change or take back what was said
 
To hope that what was said wont be reshared or changed
 
To hope that what is said wont lead to embarrassment 
 
 
To do with out being judged
 
To be able to dance alone with only my self watching every step
 
To know that I can do without, 
minutes, seconds, hours, days, years 
later, wanting to change or take back what was done
 
To hope that what is done wont lead to embarrassment
 
 
To future fear and regret
 
To constantly be struggling to get past "what if" and future "remember when"
 
To know that I will or won't speak without, 
minutes, seconds, hours, days, years 
later, wanting to change or take back what was done
 
To know that what is done wont lead to embarrassment, is impossible
