Wish I could say
i wisely used time
maybe I did
in the pit of despair
wallowing there
i’m still here
even though i prayed
for the end
instead another beginning
not a chapter
a short story
staring at faces
angry voices
hearing them again
now
hearing my voice
i choose my life
free from ghosts
free from regrets
free from eternal what ifs
or should haves
ready for now
looking ahead
no expectation
what i need here
just got to let it be
enough
