************************************************************

I follow my gut without fear,
The melancholy pulls me in.
I sense that the change is close,
Though I don’t yet know how to begin.

Each step forward shifts the ground,
I balance hope along the way.
I wrap it in 𝘼𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙪𝙢 foil,
To hold it close, to let it stay.

This is where my journey begins,
I stand between the here and now.
I carry hope close to my heart.
Knowing where, unsure of how.

I see the patterns clear today,
The cost is heavier at its core.
What I was fearing feels unclear.
Yet leaving now would cost me more.

If I let go of old belief, I fall,
Or maybe I arrive too soon?
I've learned I don’t control the way,
But still I choose to stay in tune.

This is where my now begins,
I don’t escape, I stay with me.
I keep hope wrapped in 𝘼𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙪𝙢 foil,
And trust that I belong to be.
