The Reset Button
I had always wished I could hit a magic reset button
To be able to go back in time to change the things I did wrong
There’s so many things I would have done differently
But I’ve come to a realization
Those choices have made me who I am
Strong, independent, caring and vulnerable
Who would I be if that button existed?
Would I still be me?
I’m learning that there actually is a reset button
But it’s not the kind that fixes mistakes
It fixes your state of mind
It reaches in to heal your soul
It helps you turn over a new leaf
It helps you push the toxic negativity out of your life
You learn a lesson from the mistakes of the past
You learn to let go of the pain
Only you can create this magical button
It starts by being grateful for what you have
Not mourn for what you lost
And I for one, am going to push that button
