A Reason To Change

A million reasons to hide 
A thousand reasons to let go
Each day I am living my life
For one reason, that never let me go.

Doing my best wasn’t good
Crossed the finish line many times, it wasn’t enough
Would I even be good enough?
Thinking things over again
But I am not thorough.

Some say I am good, few say I am great
Deep in my mind I know the truth.
It asks questions, why don’t I believe in myself?
Persuade me to take another chance
Forcing me to stop let go, encourage me to be the person
I want to be, I need to be.

The reason that kept me alive
The one reason that force me to try
It’s a secret, but the reason isn’t mine.
It’s the power of my soul; it’s the peace of my mind
And it’s asking  me to change
Because the future is mine.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
