I Am Ready

I am ready—

not rushed, not afraid,

but rooted in the quiet knowing

that I have survived my own storms.

I am ready to release

what no longer listens to my heart,

to step out of shadows

that once felt like home.

I am ready for truth

that feels light in my chest,

for days that breathe easier,

for nights that no longer ache.

I am ready to choose myself

without apology,

to honor my wounds

as teachers, not chains.

I am ready for beginnings

that arrive gently,

for growth that feels honest,

for peace that stays.

I am ready—

not because I am perfect,

but because I am whole.
