the thoughts in the mind,
sometimes the reasons for holding back,
feeling familiar to us,
blurring out will to gain more,
seeming like excuses are true,
stopping the first step.

its within you,
you hold the strength,
the courage to see through,
allow reasons to stay that way,
excuses not to stop you,
a distinction you can only make.

remember grieve is normal,
pain is not always bad,
love is not always good either,
and continuous change is what growth is all about,
so go ahead, start it.
