Half

Half of a century
Half of a life it will be
yet nearly impossible it seems
that so much time could have passed
passed so quickly for me

If I were a book
would this story be half over?
What would the chapters have told?
(_________________).....
As I pause and search my soul.

I can't be a book,
A novel, a series.... an endless: hmmm
when will there just be nothing more to me?
I approach this number as a challenge
a start of a whole new life.
Maybe I'm wrong...
or Maybe I'm right.

I never envisioned where life would take me
and living it was just a day to day thing
yet something about this years birthday..
it screams... demands... so loud the echos ring
Time For Change!!!

So now, with a book half written,
chapters, that left people hanging...
and some that just never made sense.
Choice that have impacted forever.
Secrets that will die with me in a grave.

I'm 8 days from the decision of a lifetime.
Maybe I'm wrong..
or Maybe I'm right.
At least this half of life will be mine.
