New Beginnings
It is time for Renewal and Rebirth!
The shedding of habits, worry, and fear
Letting go will put my mind at ease.
I no longer want to feed stress and self doubt,
In the corners of my mind they disappear.
I wash away the negativity,
I wash away the pain,
I wash away the regret,
My goal is no longer to please.
My heart will no longer hurt,
I will put myself first!
My love is to be cherished,
My happiness is sound,
My health is vital,
My goals will be accomplished,
My spirit is courage, strength, and love.
I shall walk in search of the love I left,
For the love that I neglected,
For the love that was forgotten,
My love,
My love of self,
I forgot to love myself.
I do not fear the unknown path,
For life is a journey and I will not go back to my past.
Change is never comfortable,
It will go against the status quo,
But ultimately it is required to grow.
I will dive deep into the waters of my soul,
For in its depths,
Pain and trauma will unfold.
I will dive deep,
Uncovering all that was hidden.
I will acknowledge everything; leaving nothing unfinished.
As I rise to the surface,
I am kissed by the sun.
I will emerge anew,
The true journey has begun.
