I’ve made my decision—

to finally take the leap.

I thought fear would grip me,

and the ground would lose stability

Was I overthinking? 

seems like I always do. 

Now that the moment is here,

It feels strangely calm,

a say like any other

unexpectedly underwhelming. 

A box of knick-knacks,

a folder of old files—

These are things in my hands

As I leave this space behind.

I’ve always hated goodbyes,

And today grants my wish—

no farewells, no parting words,

Just an ordinary day.

I close my eyes

I give my thanks

to this space - 

for all it has given me.

to the past -

for it has been good to me.

I step forward—

a prayer, a wish

for brighter days ahead.
