I am here.

I am here.
They are there. 
I'm staying where I am
While they break into the world like an open dam. 

This came as a flood. 
For hours, it hurt in my gut.
They pushed on with an invisible force 
No doubts seemed to make them pause. 

Before, I was thrilled with my mundane life
I'd stay up everyday until five. 
My hours ranged from book days tucked in bed like a little child 
To nights that were just a tad wild.

Then I stopped to think
These apparent troubles were merely a temporary kink. 
My life would begin when and how I want it to
And never will it be dependent on unknown whos.
