Time To Go


I drew up the blinds

and looked out

to where the daylight,

exposed all 

before me.

I slid the bolt open

and unlocked the door.

I hesitated

but I knew

it was time,

time to leave this room

time to leave this place

time to leave the shadows 

behind,

to put aside my doubts

put aside my veil

expose my face,

show myself

as I am

and leave my fears

behind me.
