Never Too Late

Reborn here now without baggage
I move hesitantly into the sun
From the door of my new apartment in a new city
Ready to start over.

The person I used to be no longer exists
Reborn here now without baggage
Because I finally took control of my life
And left a spiraling situation, swirling the drain.

No more yelling, no more hiding
No more cowering in dark corners
Reborn here now without baggage
I feel the sun gently warm my face and smile.

It’s never too late to start over.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that it is,
For I am proof it can happen as I stand
Reborn here now without baggage.
