I get it now:
In every human life
There comes a time
To come to grips with
Reality.
Did I imagine that
I could hold on to
Self-pity any longer?
It is not a foundation
For anything.
So, in spite of my
Grieving the fear
That I thought
Could hold me up,
I now must
Face the music.
And I do not take it
Lightly.
I have given in to
Covering, addictive,
Isolating, medicating
Behaviors
To quell the fear.
And they have done
Nothing.
Did I imagine that
My fear could be
Pushed away
So easily?
Perhaps I did.
And perhaps
I was wrong.
So here I stand.
There is no
Dramatic crossroads
To make the shift
I must take.
It is all internal.
And I choose to make the change.
However strange or challenging
It may be,
My next voyage —
My NOW voyage —
Is all about the transformation
That I have avoided
And now begun.
