In my heart
and soul
and mind,
I know.
I have been here before.
I have seen this place.
I have faced this moment.
The place of decision.
The moment of definition.
In my heart
and soul
and mind,
I know.
I have been here before.
I have decided.
Frequently.
I have defined myself.
Often.
Decisions, definitions
that shape me.
In my heart
and soul
and mind,
I know.
I have been here before.
I have decided.
Poorly.
I have defined.
Badly.
And I bear the consequences.
Daily.
In my heart
and soul
and mind,
I know.
I have been here before.
And I wonder,
deeply wonder:
will I decide differently,
will I define creatively
at this time and in this place.
In my heart
and soul
and mind,
I know.
I have been here before.
