Newness

This poem about about realizing one's potential and not allowing life to pass by without enjoying it.

How can one be happy?

With a mediocre life

As sad as it sounds

I envy the lives of those that have made it

Those that enjoy life and not endure it

What’s in this for me?

Is all I ask then sit and wait for it to fall in my lap

Well no more waiting and moaning and pain

I take my life back and the joy that it brings

I have the ability, the knowhow and drive

To regain consciousness and learn how to fly

I won’t sit around and let life wither away

While my goals and dreams die

I want so much more than I have at this time

But I feel like I’m drowning in the tears that I cry

I know my reasons are lame, maybe I’m in over my head

But in two minutes time I will possess a new mind

No longer will I hold my head down in shame

But I’ll walk like I’m worth more than mere change

I’m the child of a King, and I know this to be true

He’s the one that bleed and died

For me and for you

He gives me strength to endure

The problems that arise

So I step out of this funk

And into the sunrise

My mind is new and my heart is pure

From this day forth this Woman is new!
