Clarity

As the dawn approaches I perceive life,
my life with such clarity;
I see how my heart was broken but now can mend;
I see how my spirit was infected but now is cured;
I see how my soul was crippled and empty but now can heal and feel whole.

I thought I was the one confused
but it’s the world in which I live in that is distorted.
I now realize I was not full of doubt
but it was those living in my surroundings that doubted me;
I now recognize what true love is, the right love since
I have lived thru the wrong type of love.

I now face my fears and need to no longer avoid my emotions.
I will no longer be scared to open my heart and
have those who dare to look into my eyes and see my soul.
I will no longer close myself out from the thought of love,
I will no longer dwell on the fact of living in the past
and still feel my pain of failure and loss.

I now have set myself free,
moved myself from behind that wall that I hid behind for so long--
I will no longer be a victim to a sad story
but be the heroine of my life
that shall at any moment be filled with laughter and love.
