Poetry
I’m Retiring
Taking Life Into My Own Hands
I’m retiring from living a life that others expect I’m retiring from holding my feelings back I’m retiring from working at a job that’s just a job
I’m retiring from hesitating to take the leap into my passion I’m retiring from assuming outcomes will end badly I’m retiring from spending time around people who don’t inspire me
I’m retiring from feeling the need to be productive everyday I’m retiring from pretending to be something I’m not I’m retiring from worrying about what others think of me
I’m retiring from the idea that I am not the person I want to be I’m retiring from living in the past and future I’m retiring from anything that is going to limit the authentic life that I lead
