The Last Act
A month ago I thought perhaps I just couldn’t change
The unfamiliar haunts me and makes me feel strange
But I can say today for certain as if it were a fact
Please don’t close the curtain this is not the last act.
Somehow I learned how to embrace what was new
In the back of my mind I always knew what to do
Something held me back and I’m starting to see
I need to just drop my guard and learn to be me.
The things that I learn are not like what I know
When you start to see the difference you start to grow
I’ve always had a plan for the next step I would take
Yet I just return back with the decisions that I make.
So I decided that I don’t need to be in control
All of the stress and sorrow were taking their toll
I decided to accept whatever life may bring
The possibilities are endless it could be anything.
Though the curtain falls I know this is not the end
The love you shall receive shall equal what you send
It all comes down to just how you will react
As the curtain falls this isn’t the last act.
