growing pains

Wandering down empty streets
in the wee hours of the night,
navigating through
the fog & the coolness
in the air
as I attempt to navigate
the fogginess of my
mind...

my need for change and
growth
has not gone without
growing pains...

I take one step
forward
and three steps back
it seems...
as I let the fear of
disappointment from others
hinder me
from letting go
and moving forward.

On this sleepless night,
with the new Mumford album
filling this
empty building with soothing,
renewing melodies
and freshly brewed coffee
filling my senses with
bold aromas,

I am seeking
clarity,
newness, and
change...
