How Wonderful I Can Be

Ghosts of my past
Still try to haunt 
Manifest to demons 
Demons of destruction 
They broke so much
Tore me apart from the inside out
Took control
Made me miss precious moments
Cost me my life
For such a long time
Reflections don't shy away from the truth
But lies is all I saw
It's been a war
A battle for change
Thought all the weapons were accounted for
Then suddenly out no where
They attack nightly
Knocking me down
I wasn't able to rise above before
But now I stand and deliver everything I once hid
It's the reality of an imagination that was built for change
I knew it was time to move forward not back
Bring those I care for up not down
I was the demon inside outside I was numb
Not no more
Not today
It's all  about consistency 
It's all about hope
It's takes one small step to create footprints they all will remember 
I am here now ready for what lies ahead
No expectations and no set plan
It's freedom in me to be the one that changes it all 
On my way
Catch me if you can
Because once the chase is over
You will see how wonderful I can be.
