It's Time to Move On

Breathe in the Fresh Air

It’s time.

Blow out the sizzling fire yearning for your attention to its diminishing existence.

Pour out the rationality alongside logical reasoning for the birth of a personal renaissance.

Bullshit has claimed a precious corner of your heart for far too long.

Stubbornness has clogged the streamflow of your thinking for far too long.

*

It’s time, and don’t resist.

Your long-sought dream is real,

And so is its lack of substance.

Your long-fought depression is real,

And so is your humble existence.

*

You’re hurt, chasing an unachievable goal in vain.

You’re burnt, leaping into an inextinguishable fire in pain.

Stop! Right here, right now!

*

Close your heart,

Which has long clouded your eyes.

Turn your neck,

Which has been stiffening your head.

*

It’s starting now! Take the first step!

Don’t talk back—

The silence will embrace and protect you.

Don’t look back.

The focus will guide and guard you.

*

It’s time.

Leave all that behind.

Stand tall, and breathe in the crisp, fresh air.
