Borrowed

I have only a few

borrowed moments to

call a life.

And somehow, I must fit

an entire age into them.

I spent years chasing arrivals,

only to discover that every

destination quietly demanded a departure.

I have carried enough.

Enough versions of myself

that survived but never truly lived.

So if life asks for another letting go,

I will not argue.

I have gained enough

to understand this:

some doors open only after

both hands learn how to release.

And perhaps what I am searching for

is not ahead of me-but waiting beneath

everything I no longer need.
