Manifesting

I packed my things, and kissed my family goodbye,

Taking only a couple things I needed,

Ask I drove away into the abyss.

Yes I was scared,

My whole life flashing before my eyes, as they stayed where they were,

But I had grown up,

My home was no longer what it was,

Only memories,

How bittersweet.

I must create a home for myself,

With my own thoughts, ambitions, and dreams alongside me,

Remembering the day I saw the quote at my favorite small town coffee shop,

“Don’t stay where you are just because you are comfortable”,

I took the risk, I moved cross country and am living my dream in the mountains,

I open my eyes and listen closely,

I can hear the stream nearby,

No longer hearing my fathers screaming and mother’s cry,

I can feel the fresh air on my skin,

No longer feeling like a burden because it was only just I,

Making my own decisions for my life,

No longer needing to lie,

I created my own home.

After I had outgrown the people around me,

I knew I needed to let go.
