Poetry

I have

 Become that person who is always there

But who am I right now in this moment.

And will I ever really know unless I make a change and I stop just being there.

I can’t continue like this because I’m always waking up to a moment when I don’t know who I have become.

I’m losing everything because I’m too afraid to just go for it.

For I’m afraid to fail and be right back in this same space I was years ago.

With no hope of grown and the answer to the questions I so badly needed answers to.

And for what?

For a paid check that will get me through until next time and then when next time comes will I still stay and wonder what it would be like to truly live this dream.

I guess it’s time to open the door that has been waiting for me to stop pretending and fitting in.

And start just standing out and doing the very thing that makes me feel alive and human.
