four days separate
now from new
my stomach turns
with excitement
with a twinge of fear
of unknown
but mostly
i can taste the freedom
i'm ready
for the biggest adventure
this girl has ever seen
leaving behind
a city i've loved
people i'll miss
terribly...
a life that i won't
new experiences
mountains
fresh air
natural beauty
this is it
i want to get in now
and drive to there
but patience
is a virute
reinvention
finding me
the whole
all natural
through and through
me
and rediscovering
truth
of what i deserve
of what i desire
of what it means
to be me
for me
sounds selfish
maybe that's
exactly necessary
to no longer find
validation
in what you think
i am me
the only me i can be
and that's okay
no apologies
i may fail
i may succeed
either way
i'm on my way
on my way
and i can't stop smiling...
