Today I found this written on a piece of yellow note pad paper, folded up inside my journal from a couple of years ago, when I was going through a lot. It’s rough, like most of my stuff lately, but I feel it sums up how I was feeling back then pretty well.
If I am going to do this
I will have to give it my all
No holding back
No holding back
It is time to bear my soul
Time to open up and take a chance
‘cause without truth there can be no love
No real love
It is true that if I open my heart I may be hurt
but I can no longer live in this shell
My self imposed hell
Stuck here where I fell
It is time to stand up
Time to be real
Time to make a change
Time to heal
