If You Only Knew

If you only knew what you could not do, why even try

You can not step your foot out of the door

You can not venture out and explore

You can not sing in a high key

Wait a minute, that’s not you, that’s me

You can not go dancing in the rain

Or listen to it hit the window pane

You can not say hello to me

I mean really

Me?

I will not push and I will not pry

But why not try something you have bottled inside

Like, put anchovies on a pizza

Or actually go and finally meet her

Try on something that you like

They don’t like it; they can take a hike

Anxiety is a wretched thing

Not something to overcome easily

Never peace does it bring

I am not saying to go the opposite way

Too much is too much on any given day

What I am saying is to dip a toe in

Maybe two if you can swim

Let’s just have fun and just be

That’s all I got for now, Fia  Naturie xoxox

  1. Great poem, Fia! I love how it flips from doubt to a playful nudge to try something new—like anchovies on pizza (bold move!). It’s such a relatable take on anxiety, showing how tough it can be, but also how small steps can shift things. The dancing-in-the-rain vibe and that cheeky “they can take a hike” line? Perfect. Keep sharing your words—they’ve got heart and humor! (And if you ever test that rain theory, maybe pack an umbrella… or not. Up to you!)
