I don't know why

But I don't feel as empty

As I used to feel

I don't regret

What I did

Choosing to love

Was the best thing I did

Cause it filled me up with

So much more and

Opened me up

To healing my heart

Thank you for reminding me

What I forgot to see

About who I really am

To think I was on my knees

Begging for approval

While being forgetful

Of what I stand for

But everything happens

For a reason and

I needed a change of perspective

To see the light

That shines from within

Is this what

Falling in love

With life

Feels like ?

To feel content

In what I do

To find love

In all the little things

In life

To be grateful to be given

A chance

To live, to see and to cherish

All that I value and more

To feel accomplished

In my minor achievements

To be my own cheerleader

Pushing myself to become better

Not for you

But for me

Yes it's happening

Its time for me to glow

But I'm still just growing

Just quite getting there

But I do see the light

Over there

Right in front of my eyes

Even amidst all the

darkness around me

You know I don't

give up that easily

I can do this all over again

I'll stand right up

Cause that's what I always do

And I know I'm in the

Right direction

And everything will fall in place

With all its grace

It's just a matter of time
