I watched the signal turn from green Counted every reason in between My hand hovered above the latch Then something in me stopped looking back --- No more measuring the distance No more waiting for the right second If it opens, I go through --- No second move, I hit it first Feel the latch give underneath my hand Let the whole room shake behind me I won't freeze when the pressure lands No clean line, no perfect angle I take the space before it closes If the ground shifts, let it shift I stay moving through the noise --- Foot down — lights change No pause — break pace --- Every “later” took its piece Every almost cost me something I know the shape of standing still I know the cost of missing sparks Pressure rattles through the walls Good — let it drive me through them all --- I don't need the road made clear I don't need the timing clean Give me one inch of open space That's enough for me --- No second move, I hit it first Feel the latch give underneath my hand Let the whole room shake behind me I won't freeze when the pressure lands No clean line, no perfect angle I take the space before it closes If the ground shifts, let it shift I stay moving through the noise --- Foot down Lights change No pause Go
