I had been living in the liminal space for far too long, 

So in love with my past I forgot about the present, 

So scared of my past I didn’t dare to think of the future. 

It was long gone, 

All the hopes and dreams I once held close, 

They had morphed into something different, 

Something unknown. 

All the sudden everything I wanted was colliding toward me, 

In my orbit, 

Within reach, 

My timeline was shifting, 

And I felt it. 

I couldn’t take everyone with me, 

That I knew,

And the cleansing had already started, 

I didn’t have time for those who let me down, 

Not anymore. 

The bad habits hadn’t left yet, 

Those were going to take a little longer to leave, 

But I welcomed the change, 

I was humbled by it.

Excitement,

Relief,

All the human emotions, 

I was suddenly aware of how powerful we are. 

And I had only scratched the surface.
