## Caption

A poem I wrote immediately after signing on the dotted line to get. the. building: ⠀
⠀
it's time ⠀
you go have a drink ⠀
they say⠀
how're you gonna celebrate?⠀
my mind is blown empty ⠀
I am just hanging here⠀
suspended⠀
in this moment ⠀
with all their eyes on me ⠀
I fumble a bit ⠀
with my words ⠀
in an overwhelm of ⠀
subtle energy ⠀
a rush throughout ⠀
my body systems ⠀
from the profoundness⠀
of the ritual ⠀
in all it's mundane ⠀
stacks of paper ⠀
⠀
*it's the ritual*⠀
⠀
they are waiting expectantly ⠀
we all know innately ⠀
that life changes ⠀
the moment you walk out that door ⠀
we feel it in the air ⠀
⠀
I see it in their eyes ⠀
a friendly ⠀
yet serious tone ⠀
I am signing my name ⠀
promising to pay back ⠀
the largest sum of money ⠀
I could conceive of ⠀
until this point ⠀
of my evolution⠀
⠀
it's in their tone of voice ⠀
as they explain ⠀
one by one ⠀
what each document means ⠀
like getting married ⠀
there is a commitment ⠀
solidified into these stacks ⠀
of papers and ⠀
a promise ⠀
like I've never made before⠀
a promise to myself ⠀
that I will ⠀
unleash ⠀
the ⠀
wildest ⠀
most ⠀
fearless ⠀
version ⠀
of ⠀
myself.⠀
⠀
