You have blinded me to everything I knew
And replaced it with an undiscovered country.
Past is an impossibility
And the winds beckon me forward
Into a land unventured,
Unmapped.
I am a stranger to all I knew
And all who knew me.
Different from anything I expected,
I’m finding it hard to accept
This paradoxical state.
For if I accept it,
I can never truly leave.
