Anticipation


It's that feeling of elation between what is and what could be. It's impatiently waiting for the celebration to begin. & without warnin', you are already in; the new moment has won its battle with the old one. Without reason you run, full speed into the present cause that deep inner need tells you to let go of your inhibitions. So set free all the traditions you've been taught. But forget not the love tha you've been given. That is the only way to get enough of this life and get rid of the strife I kid you not If you want to survive, don't be afraid to die. Anticipation? Ready? Set? Go.
