Fighting the urge to run, I knew it wasn’t a solution
Although the overwhelm and fear in my heart were convincing that it was
I wanted to disappear, start over
But I had already done that, and it didn’t work
I followed me wherever I went
Growing, learning, changing
New opportunities were in front of me
But the same familiar sabotage also was
Choices, to grow and change or stay the same
Change seemed so painful
When in fact staying the same was moreso
Back and forth, forth and back, forth, back, back, forth
Indecision was making me crazy
Buckle down and focus
You deserve all the success that lie ahead
But you can’t run
You. Can’t. Run.
Put down roots, create community
Possessing a gypsy soul, makes me unfamiliar with all that
Fighting the urge to run
Fear engulfing all that I am
Facing facts of constant change
Finding the stillness in solitude inside
Feeling into my rhythm
Not fearing my feelings
But writing through them
Processing them and learning
Adapting to change
Connecting to my powerful inner peace
Knowing I’ll be okay
No one is worth giving up and running away
I am capable, I can shut out the noise, I can be okay
Right. Where. I. Am.
