Coming Home

She'd never looked at life this way There's beauty all around How could I have got so low Just needed to be found When the first tear fell from her She thought that it would mend Didn't think she'd still be here It never seemed to end And the days they turned to weeks The weeks turned into years It took awayher confidence Replaced with all her fears She knew the circle wouldn't stop Each morning brings new pain Wonders how the bright sky feels She's only used to rain Looking at herself one day She stared into her eyes And saw that there was nothing left She's done with living lies Admitting that she needed help It took a lot to do But knows she's coming home one day The grey skies turn to blue With every ounce of strength in her She had to do what's right And knew that it was time to start The long uneasy fight

Hi Megan, touching write this. The value of self worth and wanting better in life has been brought out well. You’ve brought out the theme very well - the true meaning of coming home is being true to ourselves. Well penned! I sure hope to read more of your work. Vicky.

It takes just as long as it does to find courage to face fears. It's in the getting there eventually that validates the hard journey. Thanks for sharing this. Lovely.
