Life Change
Learning to quit
Quiting the distractions
The obsessions
Need to bring everything under control
Looking for new perspective
New life habits
New ways of thinking and being
Being open to anything
Listening for a change in heart
A change in languange, a change in expression
Breaking habits isn't easy, but necessary
Breaking down the trap door
Breaking the confinement, opening new parts of me
Amazed at what come to mind, curious things I hear
Glad for a change of routine, a new routine
Trying to build, trying to grow
Use the right tools, the tools inside
Liberating my life from what its been
Leaving it all behind
Not forgetting, but remembering and changing because of it
Changing for my future, for my dreams
Creating new dreams
Grateful for everything
Grateful for pain, for challenge
Grateful for the truths that hurt, but help us grow
Singing new songs, new melodies
Letting go of monotomy
Determined to finish what I start
To talk the fear to a murmur
So I can enjoy the moment, the present
To live a life of reflection, wonder and mystery
To be amazed by the smallest thing
To celebrate life, flesh and blood
To lessons learn, friends, and possibilities
To make the best in everything
To remember attitude is everything
To stand up for what is right, true, and real
To study with joy and amazement
Cheering for everyone's success
Praying for change in myself
A change so profound that it knocks the wind out of me
That causes me to rethink everything
I've ever known
I've ever known
