dripping with joy

there's a fever blazing in my heart, and everything is changing. i am dripping with joy. i still believe in you; i believe in myself more. i want you to follow your heart, isn't it bursting like mine? to be honest, i don't know what's "right" anymore, and i don't care. i am incredibly grateful for every stage i am in. i am doing what's right by me, and dammit if i don't die trying. i felt my feet slide as i let go of control, and where fear was expected, came freedom. i am powerful beyond all measure, and i am powerless moreover. i once said, "i love you, even if you can't love me back." i didn't mean it. i do now. i am exactly where i'm supposed to be. right here; in this moment. a dam was building inside me, pulsing with anxiety, fear, control. it cracked, exploding inside of me, and when i finally opened my eyes, it was hope that i was swimming in. what is this glow that permeates my skin? it is love gushing from my pores. i am helpless to the hand, that is greater than mine, that has swept me up in a romance with this breathing, beating world.
