Kristen/Snap
snap
out of it
change you mind
just get on with it
be happy
grateful
everything is going to be alright
trying
trying
trying
learning to snap as a child
someone has to show you the way
here is how you do it
finger slides on finger
little sounds at first
right hand easier than left
watch them succeed
hear the sound
practice, practice, practice and then you have it
can't be broken down into little lessons
slide the fingers just so
what is the success?
a tiny noise...little finger sliding sound
snap, snap, snap
now it is done, the technique mastered
never forget, like riding a bike
the action itself, friction
a tiny choreographed finger dance
snap, snap, snap
and what is next?
does the pain subside?
are the lessons learned?
the fears are still there
it was not alright
can it be again?
such a temporary thing
snap, snap. snap
have I gotten anywhere?
yes
out of it, no
used to it,more
knowing what is coming, sort of
snap, snap snap
