A Good Little Girls Zine

Steady Swims

I am
productive
not overwhelmed

I am
even
at times bored.

I am okay
but wonder
is there more?

I am steady
climbing up,
climbing down

breathing
sitting
being
sleeping

It’s all new
this space around,
above,
beneath
between

Yet–
I know it
all
inside out

I am memories sweeping by
I am dreams filling up
I am floating
these calm waters
steady
steady
steady
swim.
