I never thought it would be so easy to change,
These pieces of me that I, myself, broke.
These tiny slivers finally easy to rearrange,
A unknown strength inside myself I can now evoke.

The pieces slip together without even the slightest trouble,
Why have I fought this for so many years?
Within my heart I feel hope start to bubble,
As my eyes overflow with tears.

I've tried this so many times before,
But my conviction was never so steady.
Finally able to pick myself off the floor,
Two decades of pain, and at long last, I'm ready.

I've pushed away every one I truly love,
In some cases they actually hate me.
I've called on forces from below and above,
Begging to bring them back to me safely.

Ready to show this world the new man I've become.
Determined to create a love that never breeds sorrow.
My chest so so full, heart no longer feels numb,
My eyes now set on a better tomorrow.
