THE EVOLVING SELF

the new year dawns,
a fresh page unfolds,
the older me, a story yet untold

versions shift, a constant, flowing tide,
the core within, where truths reside

or does it fight,
this ever-changing state,
denying flux, clinging to its fate?

a title won, a goal long
sought and near,
five years of toil, dispelling doubt and fear

insecurities, a whisper in the night,
worries gnawing,
"What if I can't take flight?"

failures faced, a humbling, bitter taste,
but found the key, emerging from the waste

the stage, the call, a moment brief and grand,
yet hollow echoes, no joy at hand

a fleeting triumph, a momentary gleam,
this wasn't it, not the life I'd dream
