Imminent Arrival

For the first time in four years

Maybe even more

I can stare out my window

Feeling confident

I am where I want to be

Steadfast, sheltered, sure

In the warmth of my bedroom

Now I understand

The drive to move forward

Relentless but inspired

It crushed down upon me

Adamant and constrained

It is now I realize

Though I may be tired

I have found some success

I have found some space

Here I can finally breathe

Even if just for a moment

This should be something to

Acknowledge and appreciate

Because after the heartache

All the lonely nights I spent

Thinking this would never end

I have finally escaped

And it's strange

It's nothing like I imagined

But things change

That's the only constant

Not even these lines

Or all the stupid rhymes

I try to construct

To express what has struck me

So clearly today

Will stay the same

Tomorrow will come

And all my feelings will dissipate

So I'll appreciate the moment

Today
