For the Plot

I did it for

The plot…

Whether I was

Ready or not

It was time

To take my leave;

Because everyone was

Leaving and all of the

Signs I didn't believe in

Were pointing in

A direction and I

Was finally paying

Attention.

I was miserable,

And so far

From where I wanted

To be, and so

I fired the writers and

Took control of

The narrative,

And I will

Hold that.

I can't let somebody

Else dictate my

Storyline, I won't

Let it happen again,

And yet…

I did it for her:

I found someone worth

Bending over backwards for

And she set the bar

So

High

I couldn't find

Anyone I'd rather be

Flipping my life around

To be near to,

And she is worthy of

So much more than

A cross-country move…

But one step at

A time.

The city I left

Was beautiful, but

It was never mine, kept

Rejecting me

Most of the time

(Which is fine)

I found a place

I feel like I actually

Chose

For once

For a change,

I'm facing forward

And trusting in something

I haven't felt in

A long, long while

(maybe for forever).

I said I wouldn't do it

I said I'd hold steady

But for her

I was finally ready

To listen to my heart

To follow my gut

To a new start

And I know

I'll be okay,

No matter what.

I take a

Leap of

Something I don't

Believe in;

She says I'm so capable…

Maybe I'm

Starting

To believe in

Her.
