letting go.

As a child, you played,
never losing your faith,
running and gliding in the wind.
Not a care in the world.
You wished and you waited,
you wondered what you could be.
Then you grow, you explore
but the world tells you no,
and it feels like a one way street.
You're lost, confused,
slowly getting bruised.
Wanting the future to brighten before you.
But there, you see,
the light comes ahead.
A glimmer of hope lies with leaving the nest.
You leave, you cry,
you look back behind,
but the way to your home is gone.
And all you can see,
is a dark moonlit sky,
so you walk on straight ahead.
And you hear what they tell you,
but you were told something else,
and you never know what to believe.
Trying everything, waiting patiently,
you look in the mirror and cry.
But suddenly you find what's been there all along,
and you start to hear all that they say.
You see yourself on the screen,
and you hardly believe,
but the truth is setting you free.
Then, there, you see,
everything you can be,
and the sunlight shines again.
And finally you know
it was there all the time,
the power was inside of you;
you just have to let go.
So you wake up with a smile,
and have faith in your best,
the potential just building,
you're as good as the rest.
The dream lies ahead,
you believe all they've said,
and you walk outside and you're proud.
The future shines bright,
and you know it will work,
so you reach for the stars,
and accept what seemed wrong,
and you finally find out that you're here,
you're where you belong.

"Its time to let go of whatever you were and take hold of what you are." -Stacy London.

[That poem thing was inspired by the quote below, and originally it wasn't going to be about me but somehow it became slightly autobiographical. That is all.]
