Standing On the Outside

"Standing on the Outside"
© 2003 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc


Standing on the Outside
As so many just enter in
Do you struggle to yield your heart
Afraid of failing once again?

Sometime the process is slow 
Even when we want to open our hearts
Don’t be too hard on yourself 
As you struggle toward the mark

Yes, decisions must be made 
And steps need to be taken 
But don’t forget in the journey
The process that you’re making

People may look on the outside 
But you need to look at your heart
So take it in stride day by day 
Even when you feel you’re falling apart
