It is time to go.

Going involves packing.

Packing requires deciding

What to keep

And what will stay behind.

It is time to go.

Going from one place

Means arriving at another.

Arriving involves change

And change is scary.

It is time to go

Going is a decision

Choosing one path

And not choosing

Other paths.

It is time to go.

In going we release

The past

Look toward a future

Live in the present

It is time to go.

Letting go

Of my history

That defines

who I am.

It is time to go

Going forward

I may not have much,

But it is still hard

To let go.
