It’s now, it’s time
I know from the tingling in my spine
It’s today, it could be tomorrow
Yet not yesterday, I wasn’t ready then
No today is when it’s most right
It’s now, I know
Time to vanquish the ghosts
Of my past
It’s nothing personal
Only that our time has passed
You can’t move forward
Dragging history
No the weight is too much
Each dawn of the new day
You begin the next chapter
Scribing across that blank page that’s today
Gifted to us all on awaking
To really live, there’s no other way
So collect the memories
Be they comforting or sad
Go forward strong and curious
Upon the paths that lie ahead
Vanquish your ghosts
Start living again, this day.
