Starting Over
At one time my life seemed better than I could ever dream.
Fate then decided to pay me a call
It designed a very clever scheme,
that brought me to my knees, that wasn't all.
All at once I looked around, and found so much was gone
Something that couldn't possibly be true.
My life ended, yet I continued to live on.
In utter bewilderment, I struggled to know what to do.
Nothing was left, my future appeared to be gone too.
But I had to quickly set something in motion.
I had to regroup, and sadly start life anew
But how to do it with lack of any emotion?
But I did, little by little, I moved along
from what was my original place.
Trying to find a way to belong,
and to fit into a brand new space.
The process has been slow, the years have come and gone.
I make mistakes, I sometimes go the wrong way.
I try to memorize the right words as I would a song,
And learn life's roles as if they were acts from a play.
But what I now know, though it has taken awhile.
Time that I did not want or need to loose
Was to live my own ideal of what is a lifestyle,
and to be true to myself however and whatever I choose.
