Recurring epiphanies

I feel like I will float away

Dreaming of you

Trying to hold onto

Some part of myself

Who ever said it was easy

To live?

To smile and shine,

or even just to show up

I feel as though my life is beginning

Here with you

But I know deep down

I was someone before

How could I ever forget?

How do I forget still?

I feel as though I turn and turn

Like a spinning child

Until I fall on the cold floor

Reminds me what I am

I am someone who was and is, and will be

With hopes and dreams

and fears of my own

What a scary thought
