Back to one

Back to one
It weren't much fun
It cost too much
In time and such
It made me feel
This pain were real 
I've had enough
Let go of this stuff
Flow and flux 
Through ever-changing muck
Your freedom is here
Your strength will persevere.
Let loose from your weight
Drop all the pain and hate
Forgive yourself the shame
Of the lessons you had to claim
Understand in this mosaic
Most of it is archaic 
Actions set in motion, far before our time 
It is not necessary to carry all that blame.
Find the world again thru awe
Choose love and forgive all
Included is yourself
You made it through much hell 
You've lived to stand again
Today be your own best friend
Prioritize yourself and
Make love your truth and wealth.
