I am on the
Cusp rather than the
Precipice I was staring
Into the abyss wondering
But now I straddle
It having gotten one
Foot on the other
Side there’s newness here
I can feel it
Knowing that with just
A few more steps
I will leave darkness
And leap into light
There’s lots of love
Types of love that
Is most come and
Go like the seasons
But there’s one type
That lasts an eternity
That is friendship love
That runs so deep
That not even forty
Years and lifetimes and
Everything that goes with
Diminishes the hearts laughter
Now I understand why
Scary movies are popular
The best things in
Life a bit frightening
If you’re not scared
You’re playing too small
Being scared like when
You’re on a roller
Coaster is similar to
The day that you
Were born yeeeee haaaaw
It’s finally here
My travel day
I’m leaving much
Behind mostly things
I don’t need
Relationships and men
I need even
Less what I
Am taking is
Savory a peppering
Of life’s experience
And simply me
I’m going home
To my friends
Not because I
Lost but rather
Because I won
I learned the
Value of friendship
Fate and destiny
Aren’t the same
Fate is what
Happens when one
Doesn’t pursue his
Or her destiny
Take a backseat
To your life
And fate happens
Climb in front
Grab the wheel
And the next
Stop is destiny
