Coil

The mistakes of my past don't crush me tonight, but they inspire resolve.
The blank space of my future doesn't paralyze me tonight, but it makes me mindful.

I've destroyed a lot of things. I've rebuilt a lot of things. And I've half-built some things and let them languish.

I need time:
time to feel
time to think
time to consider
time to decide
time to act.

I'm stretching my muscles. Getting them ready. I don't know yet what I'll do, but when the times comes, I'll be ready.

Because this is all too important to do otherwise.
