I Have Not Finished Becoming

I Have Not Finished Becoming *Ariadne Celestia* · All the Things a Heart Can Hold No age, loss, or ending gets the final word while there are roads unexplored and new versions of ourselves still waiting to be born. Listen to the complete Gospel-Soul anthology:    • All the Things a Heart Can Hold   Lyrics The years have written on my body, but they haven't written my last line. I have buried whole tomorrows that were never truly mine. I have worn a hundred endings, watched their shadows cross my door. But the sea has never promised not to change its distant shore. I have not finished becoming! Not yet! Not yet! More road, more sky before me! Not yet! Not yet! I am more than what has happened, more than everything I've lost! I HAVE NOT FINISHED BECOMING! The mirrors keep their little verdicts. The calendars collect their dead. But there are constellations forming where I thought the stars had fled. I am not the girl I once was, nor the woman grief designed. I am all the roads behind me— and the ones I have yet to find. I have not finished becoming! Not yet! Not yet! Every scar has marked a season, not the borders of my life! More road! More sky! I HAVE NOT FINISHED BECOMING! Do not carve my name in marble. Do not close the final page. Even rivers change their courses. Even mountains learn their age. I have loved beyond my wisdom, paid for truths I could not see. And the woman I am growing toward still holds mysteries for me. Not yet... Not yet... There is still a life I have not lived... Not yet... Not yet... I HAVE NOT FINISHED BECOMING! NOT YET! NOT YET! Let the years keep all their stories— NOT THE END! NOT THE END! There are stars I haven't named yet! MORE ROAD! MORE SKY! I HAVE NOT FINISHED BECOMING! NOT YET! NOT YET! The years have written on my body. They may write a thousand more. But somewhere past the fading daylight waits a sky I've never known. Not yet... Not yet... And I have not... finished becoming. #IHaveNotFinishedBecoming #GospelSoul #AriadneCelestia #AllTheThingsAHeartCanHold
