unglued

All these things I've so carefully put into place -
my beliefs, my opinions, my habits and attitudes.
I've steadfastly guarded them,
holding on for dear life,
terrified to ever admit that I might be wrong.

I've become accustomed to them.
And I've become accustomed to being broke,
being disappointed,
being bored in a job,
and settling for less than what I am capable of.

It is not comfortable, but it is familiar.
And so I have stayed.

But now I have awakened
and everything is coming
unglued.

My world is turning upside down
and being challenged by new ideas.
The call is to be all the me that I can be,
to give me to the world,
for no one else can offer what I have.

Unfamiliar territory,
yet right where I am meant to be.

My spirit responds with eagerness,
hunger,
to the call.

Unglued
feels right
