I Choose Me

I prance eagerly toward a new destination
Meeting enthusiasm and hope in the form of a stranger
We share our stories, expanding the goodness of a universal soul.

I am refreshed, eager to take on another day
Due to replenishing myself with a fresh, new people
Who enlighten me, revealing positivity and enthusiasm.

I no longer worry about running from those
Who zapped my strength, leaving me in a ditch to die
under a layer of anger, rage, sadness and misfortune

They are busy recruiting eager like-minded pups
As I race toward new opportunities, expecting the best
Choosing to save myself
