Becoming The Dream
Today
I unlocked
a new window
One
I had never
opened before
Air
rushing in
calling me back
Voices
familiar
yet foreign to name
And
as I passed through
that new window
Leaving
behind
what used to be me
Losing
my shadow
to futures long past
Reaching
for something
—becoming the dream
