New Terrain…

Not as we
Not As We

Sometimes you stand at the cross roads……

Your first step towards the next phase…..your shaky but new step……

Not as we ~ Alanis Morissette

I am walking in to the doors of familiarity…… though familiar it is dauntingly unnerving……

“We’re born  and shivering
Spat out on new terrain”

I am walking from my little world of structure & chaos towards a forgotten world of  unsettling tranquility & locked away emotions…..

“Unsure, unconvincing
This faint & shaky hour”

The return to the roots of sanity…..maybe too much sanity….

Overwhelmed with the sense of the unfamiliar………and the unknown…..

“Gun-shy and quivering
Tear it without a hand”

The soil of my identity becomes the unfamiliar grounds of my past……only too familiar……

The who I have become is a callous shell covering the who I have been…..

“Feign brave but still intent
Little and hardly here”

Here I am a stranger among strangers…….only but a known stranger….

“Day one” —————————————— “Start over again”

It is the starting over……..

“Step one” —————————————–“I’m barely making sense”

Not much making sense……

“From scratch, begin again
But this time I as I
And not as we”

Soon I will be walking into the pages of my memories…….walking in to the known unknown……….

The familiar grounds of unfamiliarity………..
