2013

Here’s to new beginnings,
and putting to an end
that feeling of uncertainty
that tried to be your closest friend.

Turn away from tired thoughts
that your enemies conspired
to spawn within your heart
because they’re ashes in a fire.

Leave behind the frowns and tear drops
which you hid from those around
as they poked and stuck and hurt you
to keep your head aimed towards the ground.

Rise above the yells and clamor
that deafens out the magic
of your newfound path uncovered
that leads you ‘way from tragic.

They may not understand,
but that’s to be expected.
You weren’t meant for the life
that they feel they’ve perfected.

You forge your own new journey
and kiss the old goodbye
so that when life presents it’s splendor
it’s merely happy tears you cry.
