26
It's my birthday and I have some thoughts.
It’s not like it’s an old age
But I feel so far from the places I thought I’d be
My life isn’t bad
It just wasn’t chosen by me
Inaction is still action
There’s nobody else to blame
But blame will keep me stuck here
Filled with regret and shame
I got too comfortable doing nothing
That I got upset when I wanted more
But I have to choose it
Inaction is something I can’t afford
I am going places, I think I know where
It’s the how that scares me
What if
What if
What if
What if I changed those
I am changing those
I recently read,
‘Don’t boo yourself offstage
Before anyone else gets the chance’
I’m tired of being my antagonist
I put myself in this cage
It has no locks
I found comfort in being my own victim
But no more,
This is a new page
