being.

For all I have considered
All I have pondered
Everything I have analyzed
Every piece I have assembled
The words I have hung on
The meaning I have looked for
emotions I have considered
past mistakes I reply
moments I could change
different paths could be taken
it all could have been so different
would I have found my life
would I have ever been surprised
would I have felt alive
any action delayed
any words unsaid
any hand untouched
any truth not told
any life unaffected
any missed love
any delayed loss
all opportunities for a life to live
each experience is gift
only untouched by fear
of one’s own hand
Times change as well do eyes
Knowing that there is nothing more to fear
For every dissertation my mind creates
My actions are one less
For the changes I could create
By letting go
Living my truth
Giving my heart
Unbridled, unafraid, uncensored, unforgiving.
