Steadiness

This week demanded steadiness. So here it is, Steady by Afiyah The Poet

Storms are coming
I go steady

Water is churning
I go steady

Whether the sky
is blue or gray
I keep going
with steady steps

Lived this life
long enough to know
upsets are many

Can’t break down
with every misstep

I’ve seen the floor
way too many times

Learning to go steady
when disasters strike

Assess and adjust
learn the lessons

I keep going
with steady footing.
