words to keep

I haven't posted on here in a while since I started posting on my world race blog
but I decided to share this poem here instead.


I’m sorry if I don’t make sense,
if the lingo I use catches you off guard
if I look like I might tear up.

I’m walking on this tightrope-
knowing eventually I’ll have to jump off

My current life on one side-
my new adventure on the other.

time never has felt so slow
and so fast all written in the same
planner

Saying goodbye,
saying hello
learning names
copying faces
memories
love
in my heart.

I haven’t even got to January yet.

I’m trying to figure out
how to walk this line.
without feeling the heartbreak
that I know will come
from leaving the people
who make up my
life

I know it will be worth it
peaceful
joyous
my whole self 
will be filled 
with new family
new 
memories
new dreams

But it’s hard to walk a tightrope
so forgive me if I fall a bit

<3 megs
