Essence

this is that pivotal moment
the one you reflect on later
thinking push came to shove you
and you superceded
the prejudice of judgment
you championed self-revival
and sprung forward
in a direction
you could live with
so many choices
abundance of examples
of should and shouldn'ts
and you circumvented
the process
and achieved satisfaction
a sigh of relief
escapes your lips...
ahhhh
you discovered your essence
