First moment of the rest of my life.
A Poem by Sarah McKeever Hitt
This is the first moment of the rest of my life
Where I am truthful and bold
This is the first time,
where I worry not about if you find out I am talking about you
Because I am.
The truth will set me free from the hidden demons of my youth
from a time when I had to be the girl my parents planned me to be
This is the first moment where I throw off my jacket
to show myself to you with complete abandon and faith
At last honest
This time I can't be the one to just lie back and let you walk away
without the slightest bit of revolution in my breath when I tell you not to go
I am not the same victim who cried for years about the cruelty of destiny
I will not stand quietly by as you waste the rest of your life
without me in it.
