Discovery of a New Self

2Ed

The most amazing and frightening thing
Up there with the fulfillment of a dream 
The possibility of someone held in high esteem
Spent a moment to read my words
Fantasy becomes real, Believing becomes truth
I am not the same as I used to be
Even if it isn't all I want it to be
Wouldn't that be greedy
I tell myself not to think or remember just act as before
That person who sat here doesn't exist anymore
There’s a new one, bursting into being
Obsessed over and adoring existing
Switched out of her role as the Voice of reason
Quaking in her boots at the Changing of the season
Wondering at the spirit of the new self
Able to bear up under pressure

One hopes so at least

At the place I now am, Scared to death
Barely able to stand, Out of breath
The thoughts ringing and zinging
Around in my head
Colliding with every 
Fantastic and crazy scene
Ever produced by fevered 
Daydream
Edge of the cliffs, time to fly
Ready to do the thing
Not content to let life pass me by
Anymore
Deep breath
Here goes nothing
Everything
Open the door...
