6 Minutes

I am confused,

'cuz things are different.

I can't see one

Thing that I recognize.

(Scary)

But I heard once,

That if you watch closely,

You see that his-

Tory repeats itself.

(Calming)

So I take a

Deep breath, and think aloud,

"Just six minutes

Before all that I know

Is back again."

In the first min-

Ute I want to panic.

I just don't know

Anything around me.

(Scary)

In the second

Minute I start to think,

"Time has passed and

I am still a stranger."

(Scary)

In the Third min-

Ute I start to doubt this

Theory of

Mine. It seems to have failed me.

(Scary)

In the fourth min-

Ute I start to calm down.

I'm still nervous

But I remember *me*

...I had forgotten me.

(Scary)

In the fifth min-

Ute. I start to see some

Patterns around.

"I recognize these things."

In the sixth min-

Ute. I am happy a-

Gain. I see that

Some things *can* be diffe-

rent. It does not

mean I have lost control

Of me.

With some things I

Am stuck, but over most

Things I have con-

Trol. I decide.

(Scary/Calming)

Six minutes is

All it takes to remind

Me that change is

Good risk. It makes life fun.

But some things will

Not change no matter what.

I know that when

I jump you will catch me.

I know that when

You fall you will want me

To go catch you.

I am so sure

That if I am hurt I

must try to get

fixed. And if I don't know

I must go learn.

So I know that

Bad things may be improved.

But I need not be scared

Of what is new.

Or of what comes

For good things do not change.

(Scary/ Calming)
