Alive

I was a shadow An echo An after thought Of all my hopes and dreams, Promises and insecurities, I let myself down, And even I watched in silence as I drown. I woke with fresh life And an urge to purge old baggage I hate All the weight I can’t have that. So I Just let it go, and Woke with my head exposed And bobbing On calmer waters, Climbed onto shore got warm And remembered feeling is hard, I think being numb was harder. I am quivering in anticipation Lost all my patience in waiting To experience something Self illuminating. I can’t tell if I’m falling apart Or together but I’m feigning Through life exploring my ache At the thought of changing. I’m moving on I’m done waiting. I’m alive This is Exhilarating.
