Beginning of the End

"Maybe, once upon a time, I wanted to be everything I seemed to be lacking...except, it wasn't very easy nor satisfying.

To change is a promise from new to old; to never be who I once was. 

Nothing would ever be the same. It would be a journey of unfamiliarity. 

I would essentially be setting flames to old broken promises...people whom I vowed to never meet again. 

I imagine it is similar to hopping upon a raft with the ocean as the destination. An endless sea of opportunities with no security. No guarantee we would even be alive by the end of it, if there were an end that is.

With the foreboding expectation is that one of us will need to die..." I vocalized as I sink my fingers to the knuckles into the waves and ebony eyes smile back.
