Glitter Rain

Sometimes it feels like

there is a giant boulder

hanging above my head

which I constantly have to chip away at

to prevent it from crushing me

but, what if I rest too long

or can't chip fast enough

All I want to do

is hide under my covers

until the rock disappears 

but I know a blanket won't shield me

so I  slowly chip away 

at the rock that keeps on growing

as I shake in fear

of what will happen if it falls

But I'm tired

And I'm done

it all caught up 

and it's too late

so I  brace for what it will feel like

when the boulder crushes me

But in the words of a very wise young lady

"What you think is a great rock

over your head is

actually a great ball of glitter;

when you think you're about to be crushed

by a massive rock, and

it has become too heavy to hold, the

ball will pop, and

glitter will rain down."

And sure,

glitter is hard to clean up

but it's nowhere close to being crushed

and it's a whole lot prettier 

So I will attack this rock 

with all my strength

but at the end of the day

if it falls

It will be okay

I will dance in glitter rain
