Someday
Here I am.
Despite so many fears, after so many years I am
Throwing it all away.
Who are you all to say
What I don't and do all day?
You want me to slave away
For pay
While I pray
The void inside subsides until one day
It all eventually goes away?
Instead, it grew and it grew.
And I knew—I just knew,
That it would come down to this.
It's impossible to fix.
So that does it.
I quit.
I don't know where I'm headed,
But I know that the dread that's embedded
Deep
As soon as I awaken from sleep
On a Monday
Has been replaced without chains! I'm not waiting for Someday.
Someday will take your dreams to the grave.
Chin up. Be brave.
You've got this.
The whole world is your office.
Anything you want, just
Reach out and make it
And take it
And mold it
And grow it
And go with
The path as YOU chose it.
The bumps along the way
Trump months, or even years, of long decay.
Resolve to dissolve the gap in
Value and worth you feel wrapped in.
What's the worst that can happen?
Own the unknown over a dead-end job you feel trapped in.
