Starting Over

Sitting in an empty room it all begins to fit The clarity comes rushing in more than I’d like to admit The air is still and carries a familiar scent The fragrant mix of failures and past torment It’s simple really when I look from the outside Of course I’d feel so run down surrounding myself with those who only lied Yes, you must own up to all the wrong you have carried out and provoked But you mustn’t assume all the blame when you were being tied up and choked Acknowledge all the pain you have ever been through Now use it to become something stronger, something anew Please stop shouldering all the pain and letting it destroy you heart Open up your soul to something happy and let the hurt depart I think you’ll find that there is so much more to live for So take your first steps and open that closed door I’ll be waiting on the other side with open arms and a warm embrace This can forever be your loving home and your happy place
