Surrendering

At last

Conclusions, epiphanies, and realizations.

All, pushing me towards a surrender.

Not so much a giving up, as a giving in.

A caving in. A no longer caring to, or wanting to, resist.

So, ok, I surrender. I give up, the reed that would not bend, has at last, broken.

There is no turning back. I’ve been stripped of all the pretenses that I’ve hidden behind for so long.

Stripped away by my own violation. Who better to do what needed to be done?

Now I need only adjust, more comfortable in some regards, much less in others. An adjustment of attitudes and outlooks, of expectations and hopes.

Large hopes.

For this world and me.
