It all falls together
Pieces shifted around
Learn the new
placement
Find new space
Time to fill up again
Reacquire knowledge
Very selectively,
carefully
It comes back together
Better than it was
before
More complete this
time
Each time something
learned
Give time to let go
Nothing is truly
forgotten
Must hold on to that
learning
Each time it’s more complete
I feel more like me
Reassured and
confident
The feelings fall
apart
They bleed together
Harmony is created
Let me be me
Trust in myself
Because I know
My needs, desires and
wants
Only I can determine
those things
Never let someone push
me
The moment of disrespect,
all is ruined
Be true and walk away
The final line, the
final say
Never ignore those
silent hints
They only lead to regret
I’ve had enough regret
and deserve better
I can and will do
myself justice
Follow my heart
They are intertwined:
My heart, soul,
instinct, dreams,
Wants, needs, desires,
likes and loves
The life I want is for
the taking
It is mine before I
have it
All my hard work pays
off
Never sell myself
short
Trust in myself
