there is no announcement when
we begin the back half
of our lives,
so today must be the day
we begin removing regrets -
when we come to our end,
there is no room
for looking back,
wishing we could change,
wondering what
we might have been -
what dreams
have been put on pause,
the life we wish we led,
start now,
tomorrow is no guarantee,
the end could be closer
than we know,
stop delaying,
chase after your dreams,
let your regret be
that you never caught them,
not that you never
took up the chase

Flight
too much time
is spent in fear,
waiting for permission
to fly,
as though some other
knows the buttons to press
to get us high;
fear kills the mind
as it eats away
at potential -
clipping your wings -
keeping you from the sky
when you're at the precipice
don't ask to be pushed,
take the first step
into nothing,
leap,
let yourself fly
