ten months

ten months ago, i decided to step out
it was more of a necessity
lest i go insane

it wasn't easy but i had to hold on
physically tiring and mentally draining
but, most of all, my emotions were teethering on the edge

i had to keep on trying
even if i so want to give up
i had to stay no matter what

i had wasted half of my life
giving to my fear of the unknown
change was something totally unacceptable

how i am now, slowly feeling my way
i am starting to enjoy my day
with a few kinks here and there
