(13) 22's a Runway

(13) 22's a Runway

I find myself
standing at the intersection
          of passion and practice
at last.
All these years of make-believe
are coming to fruition;
it's the first time I feel like
      I'm making a life I can believe in.
I'm not so naive as to think it could be easy,
but I'm trying
for a little more fight and a little less flight
-- or at least, a little less runaway
                    and a little more runway,
cause this moment is momentum,
     I've got every engine kicking in,
          and if you're brave enough to stay awhile,
I swear you're gonna get to see me fly.
