Catharsis is finally putting that ******* in the past.
Is changing rather than conforming
is finishing last in a one person race and not caring.

Catharsis is waking up 8 hours later
Next to someone you love
On a Saturday morning.

Catharsis is staying there all night
Unaware and oblivious to the paper you had to write.

is ignorance
is bliss

is waking up together
even if you live alone.

Catharsis is taking the past
From around your ankle
To the past
And leaving it there to die.
Even if it's the only past you know.
This was written during a transitional phase when a lot of changes happened in my life and how cathartic the present can be in retrospect.  I hope you enjoy it.
