On The Brink

Thoughts of change;
a desire to rearrange
my circumstances;
to take chances
every day
and, in a new way,
with clear eyes, to see
who I’m coming to be
with purpose of mind: 
the one-of-a-kind
rebel who’s locked up inside.

She’ll no longer hide
in projected views,
so easy to use
as a baseline plan.
Nor will I ban
what’s reflected in eyes
when others surmise
the profoundly…real,
though not the ideal
that I had hoped.

For years, I’ve coped
with pieces of me,
finally set free.
I’ve survived
and have arrived
on the brink….
And in a wink,
I’ll reinvent
a brand-new ascent
into the fullness of…me
that Soul determined I’d be.
