Sometimes you just know
When you’re ready to look for more
It’s time to go
When storms rage on below
And rain doesn’t fall, but pours
Sometimes you just know
When progress seems to slow
And life feels like a bore
It’s time to go
When you find yourself alone
Watching ships sail out from shore
Sometimes you just know
When words once had won’t flow
And crowds want no encore
It’s time to go
When what is left is all unknown
There is nothing left that’s yours
Sometimes you just know
It’s time to go
About the Creator
E. C. Mira
I’m a poet at heart, always chasing the quiet moments and turning them into words. Most of what I write is poetry, but every now and then inspiration pulls me in new directions.

The Cost
There is always a cost. Not the dramatic kind people imagine, not the cinematic sacrifice that earns applause, but the quiet, relentless toll that transformation demands. The cost begins long before you rise and continues long after you land. It threads itself through every choice, every boundary, every refusal to return to the version of yourself that once made survival look effortless.
