Self Discovery

A million times Ive closed my eyes 

And wished that I could turn back the hands of time

I still hear the anger,resentment and the hurt in your voice

Wishing that I had made another choice

All along I knew what pain it would cause

In my blind arrogant way, I now see my flaws

Did I have no shame?

I have no one to blame

I look in the mirror and I hate who I see

Who in the hell is this woman looking back at me?

I decided that it was time for a change

Im getting back to who I am inside

To that person that you held so dear

Pure of heart,trustworthy and loving

I am going to be that person..

Not for YOU,but for ME

Inside my loneliness was killing me

But today I can stand on my own

Because that shame that I was carrying..

I have let go..

Soul searching ..

Reaching ..

Discovering . .

ME
