My Cycle of Life
Retracing steps, going down memory lane,
Its amazing how far I've come
From a young girl scared to love
Afraid that my love might cause more harm
Struggling through loneliness
Shutting guys out,
Finding reasons why relationships would not work
Feeding a fear that held me captive for years
Having lost three special guys unexpectedly
Feeling that it must have been my fault
Now looking back, I feel that it had to happen
For me to appreciate life
For me to invite love into my life again
Sometimes I still feel scared
Sometimes I still want to run
But the journey I'm on cannot be rushed
It is something that needs to be embraced,
Fear or no fear
Giving up is not an option
So whether I am happy today
or whether I am sad
Its all part of me
Every emotion, every facet, it’s my life,
my footsteps, my journey in the cycle of life…
