Realization
I bring my things over in totes, hampers, bags.
I just throw stuff in my car and leave.
Piles, piles, piles are everywhere.
What was once a floor is my own personal war zone.
I don't think he was ready for this.
But was I?
What will they think?
What will they do?
Wait, who care about them.
What about me?
The realization I am no longer a child,
I'm growing up.
Into someone I'm afraid of.
Someone I'm not sure I'm ready to embrace.
If I turn in the keys it's final.
It's done.
If this new thing crashes and burns
then what am I to do?
I just grin and bear it as we round the corner.
