You can't expect
that taking away one part of yourself
will not affect
the rest of you.
Who you are
will change.
Some parts will be better.
Some worse.
There is a cost to recovery,
also new discoveries.
Become your true self.

Fill me with your love;
let me see
that I'm worth it.
Sometimes I forget
to love myself
even though I do...
with a fierceness that
I wish I saw from you.
I try to remember that
just because I don't see it,
doesn't mean it's not there.
Faith, Wind, and the Stars
all exist without sight.
Why not love?

We move to big houses
And fill them with stuff
  Never thinking
   Enough is enough

The same can be said
Of our goals in life
  Work till you're dead
    Or perish in strife

How do we know
That we've reached our end
  A sign or a signal
   Or forever to mend

The peak of our life
Can never be known
  Until it's reviewed
   From some point unshown
