I Can Feel It

I can feel it
The things I know but have yet to learn
It waits
And my feet obey
Having transcended doubt
Fear
Crippling anxiety
I am alone
Loving others comes easily
Knowing that there may be one of significance
The day I decide that I'm not afraid to share my heart
The distance is a comfort
But far from what I really want
My eyes have never shifted from progress
Some things are much more important
And just that simple
Finally acknowledging the light in my eyes
I never believed it
Even when my colleagues could see it
Idleness would have destroyed me
They know it
But not the depth of it
Victim of my own thoughts
Obsessions
Keeping it together for their sake
I believe what he'd said
One miracle at a time
The smallest accomplishments feeling as such
Appreciating what others may overlook
A habit developed out of chronic sadness
Life gets better
Somehow avoiding hypocrisy
I live
I Survive
I adapt
Accepting change
Others may share my experience
All I can do is wish them well
