I am at a new beginning.
I am the child who knocks down
the block tower he's built
and starts to build another.

Last night I knocked over
the last standing blocks
from the tower I've spent
my whole life building.

I'm numb, of course.
My future is terrifying.
But I feel a power,
a potential in my future.

The blocks lay strewn about me;
let's see what I'll build this time.
