Breaking Free

Standing on the edge of this life

I reach my hands out in front of me

My heart tugs at the familiar behind

I am alone

 

Yearning to taste of the newness

I dare to set the past behind

My lips part in a sweet goodbye

I am sullen

  

Gazing wide-eyed wonder far beyond

I hold my breath and listen

My pulse waits for the moment to arrive

I am silent

 

Trembling with anticipation and fear

I push forward breaking away

My life stumbles into colors and light

I am free
