One month and counting
Missing everyone! I have a lot of catching up to do.
---
After I flipped the coin
I knew I reached a turning point
One-way ticket can be overwhelming
But also, pretty exciting
I then flew a hundred miles
While faking all my smiles
Wondering and wandering
New country, new beginning
Fleeting moment of success
Got me feeling undressed
Liberty was in the palm of my hands
I felt like surrounded by my favorite bands
Yet inevitably, the hype faded
2 weeks is all that it took for me to feel jaded
I found myself longing for familiarity
I want to punch this insane thing called reality
Fear crept its way through
Anxiety haunted me too
"Is this worth it?" I asked
What-if this, what-if that
Crazy questions I never thought I'd ask
However, there's nothing to do now but to conquer
And let myself be the master
They may say there's no place like home
I don't care, I brought my throne
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."

You're too sweet! Thanks for the kind words, FireFairy, it means a lot to me.FireFairy wrote:It's a good poem. I especially love the last two lines and your optimism towards the end. I also liked your line about punching reality; it made me smile. Your poem is very clear with what you are doing now and how you've been struggling, but are willing to overcome it all. Best of luck in your new place!
