I'M Ready

I'm ready 
To leave the wounds of my past
Far away 
From the promises of my tomorrow,
Held by the one
Who saved my every sorrow.
I'm ready
To break the wall of chains
And defeat the monsters that tear me up inside
For it's time for this battle to cease
And for my soul
To attain victory at last.
I'm ready
To take the tears bounded by my fears
And bottle them up
For they belong in the streams of lost dreams.
So,
With the turn of the calendar,
I kiss the pain of yesterday goodbye 
And say hello to the beauty of time and new beginnings
For I know my future is bright 
Since the one who created the sun and stars
Is in control of it all.
