I'm Lying in Bed

I - am lying in bed.
I - am lying in bed.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
In through the nose and
out through the mouth.
Or was it the other way 'round?
I supposed it doesn't matter as long as I am breathing, right?
I have to do that
Remind myself that I am in bed.
Walking down the street.
Driving.
Washing dishes.
Shopping at Walmart.
I have to remind myself to be in the moment
So I don't fly off the surface of the earth.
If I force myself to feel every moment in a shitty day
Maybe I would find a few moments that weren't so shitty.
Maybe I could bear being in a life that is 
Too small and ill fitting
Maybe I would finally know it is OK to be here,
For now.
If I focus on NOW 
And Right NOW
And Right NOW
And Right NOW
Maybe I'll be able to see the future more clearly.
