"The Moment Future Becomes Present" Inspired by Alice in La La Land:

The Moment Future Becomes Present

Poised on stage,

one last deep breath.

The darkness will soon

reveal me

and my soul.

This last second

before the cue

is that’s left between

the me of the past and

the me I’ll become.

Not enough time

to change my mind,

not enough time

to take it back.

Peace runs through me

with the blood and adrenaline

because I know now

that I will never want

to take it back.

I smile at the darkness

as it changes into light

and welcomes the new me.
