Sometimes

Because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - Newton's 3rd Law

Sometimes we get dirty,

To take pleasure in being clean.

Sometimes we are invisible,

To remember we like being seen.

Sometimes we must be absent,

To appreciate our presence.

Sometimes we walk the darkness,

To remember life's incandescence.

Sometimes we ask others,

To confirm that we trust ourselves.

Sometimes we lose our minds,

To find where imagination dwells.

Sometimes we need empathy,

To see the other side.

But always we need freedom,

To let ourselves go for the ride.
