I would like to make an exchange

I would like to make an exchange.
I would like to return
this corrosive defeated attitude
and exchange it for wings.

I would like to return
the tears I cried in vane
waiting for the right moment to come
and exchange it for
frugal laughter and joy.

I would exchange my
"wishing I was somewhere else" thought
for the elusive "I feel so blessed" one.


I would like to exchange
10000 days of boredom
and hideous routine for
1 day of excitement and passion.

If I could I would exchange/substitue/alter
that playing it safe bullshit for
leaving like it´s my last day on Earth
powerful mantra.

I would exchange fear for
compassion and sorrow
for bravery.

I would exchange, and bargain, and argue
anything but my love for you.
