They’ve moved away
The noise is gone
The constant motion ceased
I sit alone in silence
As pretty pictures of the past
Run through my mind
I hear my own thoughts
Calling me to start again
Looking for a new path in life
I cautiously close my eyes
And see myself changing
From who I was
To who I’ll soon become
JA
Flashing pictures cross my mind
They fade in and out
The past becomes the present as you approach
To push and poke me as I sleep
—-
I wake up, tears in my eyes
Streams that would not run before
Cover my face with floods of pain
And years of regret
—-
My heart breaks as I remember
The trouble–The anger
The inescapable place I was
The place I could not hide from
—-
But now I’m free
To make my life from here
To change and grow with everyday
And to become someone new–to me
JA
Thoughts fly
And time dies as it passes
I cannot reclaim the time
I spent with you
—
Fear dwindles and I revive
Who am I?
Who would believe I could begin again?
My time is mine now!
—
And I will use it wisely
To begin a life of peace
Looking for contentment
And searching for joy
JA
