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.

The hurt was real, the pain was unsettling
I was looking for a fresh start
I knew I had to move on
With those broken pieces of my heart.

Why does it seem like
people go from "Lost in life"
to "Too late to start"

He finally said he loved me.
I write this out with a smile on my face.
I feel as if I'd explode with glee,
he makes me feel like I'm in outer space.

I float as if I'm top of cloud nine,
I don't care what's to come.
All I know is that he is finally mine,
and he's as sweet as bubble gum.
