The Time Has Come

The time has come for me to 
show just who I can really be,
no more keeping it all locked up,
let it out for the world to see.

The time has come to face the
fact,I need to take a stand,
become more independent,
without someone to hold my hand.

The time has come to realize,why
I need to stay,I have to keep my
faith and take things day by day.

The time has come to take a stand
and do things on my own,to 
cross the line and not be afraid to
face the great unknown.

The time has come to make the
change and put things in the past,
do all the things I want to do,
and feel free at last.

                     Colleen Marie Bono

Self expression is the sum of identity ... communication is the sum of reality ... and you must continue making sums that climb the stairs to greatness. Wonderful write.
