Reminded Today

I got a reminder today

Reminded of what I don’t want to do in life

I felt discouraged that I was here

That I hadn’t left

Made the leap

Spat in fear’s face

I’m the edge of the ocean but haven’t stepped in

Just got my feet wet but haven’t jumped in

It’s crazy to be afraid when you know how to swim

What’s the real fear

Probably the unknown

Uncertainty for my family

But am I happy

Are they

Since they don’t see me anymore

Before I had days to spend together

I need to stop with the constant reminder of what I don’t want to do

I want better, they deserve more

Today I was reminded of what I don’t what to do

I need to change

A new path, this one is full of trouble footsteps

Today I was reminded of what I don’t want

Tomorrow I start the change
