Resolution

What happens when you finally decide
to change what you’re doing and swallow your pride?
Is it like when the fog clears away 
and you find where you stand?

Or is it more like the unveiling of art,
struck by what you see yet unsure in your heart,
because it is nothing at all 
like what you had planned?

For with resolution comes new eyes to see,
and new understanding of how things can be.
Yes, new faith that changes the path 
of what lies ahead.

For everything’s different the day you decide
to follow your heart and let go of your pride.
You’re no longer a prisoner…
but rather a free man instead.
