“The Hunt”

By: Amanda Stup

I stand at the precipice

knowing what I need to do
work on one thing
 
Confidence
 

The first step is always the hardest

knowing what must go through me
emotion, conflict
 

Pain

A tear runs down slowly, cleansing, erasing

sitting in my center, air flowing through me
finding what needs found

Peace

 

Finding my path, healing my soul

as water smooths river rocks, slowly, directly

walking, changing, flowing

 

Moving

 

The end is here and I feel alive

better then I have in years
having worked on one thing

Me.
