Life is great in certain ways
Discovering something new, that was so near
Assuming things based on what one portrays
Learning that it was cloaked in fear

Fear of opening their heart
Because like others, pain is part of the past
Hoping, wishing, they long for a new start
But focus too much on time elapsed

To move on, one has to let go
Accept it is time to take a risk, make a change
The mirror see’s and it knows
Your soul, your “you” you can’t exchange
