I woke up standing on a different tightrope

And I didn’t recognize myself

Transformed

I only knew that I had to walk the line

My thoughts didn’t flow the same way…

I spoke another language

But I knew I had to walk the talk

I’ve learned that along my path

And I‘ve learned that things can change suddenly

Mesmerized by the new journey ahead

Scared by the unfamiliar

I felt like a stranger to myself

Unexplored as the tightrope

Where I was standing ready to walk the talk to keep my balance
