To feel the breath release,
And know I made the first step.
Clear as a mountain lake,
I made no mistake.
I went for the jugular, and
didn’t look back.
No easy path,
I know.
I’ve searched
high and low.
The words forced from my bowels
From some unknown source
A lifetime without speaking my truth.
Nearly Impossible
describes the feat.
With all the love in my heart,
and strength on the tip of my tongue.
I was honest.
With you, with myself.
You threw it in my face.
