MINDSET

 

Nostalgia for a time I never knew,

Feeling feelings I thought I outgrew.

Melancholy for a life that’s way behind me,

When innocence and ignorance weren’t beneath me.

Yearning for a future that I can’t picture yet,

Intentionally releasing regret.

Accepting that I am where I am meant to be,

And that every choice I make is my responsibility.

Desire to keep growing,

Even though some people think I have everything.

Longing to build a love that swallows me whole,

Opening my palms, my heart and my soul.

Accepting the fate that I choose for myself,

Because in the end, it is my story to tell.
