Holding my breath I surveyed the situation
Knowing so many things didn’t feel right
I had to make a change
But I was oh so scared
My head was dizzy thinking about it all
So I exhaled a long, almost defeated breath
Pushing it out through my teeth made a hissing sound
Like a snake about to strike its prey
I laser focused my eyes ahead of me
And I took a step forward
Shaking, I took another
And another
Until I was in a completely different place
Looking at things from a whole different perspective
Feeling confidence rising inside me
I took another deep breath
Exhaling a big FUCK YOU
I got on my way
