Spreading My Wings

Sometimes it's so hard I think I can't deal Ties have been cut and I can't break that seal Feeling like I need that someone to show me Guide my way to the new me But only I can do it, alone, acting strong Even though I know inside it feels wrong She's not there anymore to lend a helping hand I guess I need to learn how to just take a stand Taking control of my life, and my well-being I never thought i would have trouble seeing Taking the steps that are needed to have a purpose The first step is the hardest, I know this to be true So I've just got to go go go until it's through Finally going to just take the leap of faith Fake it 'till you make it, they say that's okay Crawling through life because I know no other way Reaching out to all that care for me-it's okay One day at a time, I know I'm someone special Baby steps add up, and soon I'll be able Life won't seem like such an uphill battle Maybe then my brain won't feel so rattled ~~~Jessica Range 2015
