I don’t need to be anything right now. There is nothing to explain. Nothing to become. Nothing left to fulfill. The storm has passed without a sound The ground is changed, but still it holds Nothing here is being fixed Nothing here needs to be whole I stand inside the quiet space Where answers used to be Time is wide, the air is soft And it is enough to breathe I am not what I was chasing I am not what I perform I don’t need to earn my place here I am here I am I thought silence meant a void Something missing, something gone But silence stays and looks at me And tells me I belong No direction pulling hard No demand calling my name Just a presence, just a pulse Nothing I need to explain I am not what I was chasing I am not what I perform I don’t need to earn my place here I am here I am What remains is not a plan Not a role, not a demand What remains is what I feel When I finally let go of who I am Stillness is not empty space It is living, it is kind I am standing in myself With no future to define I am not what I was chasing I am not what I perform I don’t need to earn my place here I am here I am I’m sorry Please forgive me Thank you I love you Nothing needs to happen now I am
