There Comes a Time

Where does one go from here?
I could go back to my old ways again.

The way I used to be,
but what good is that?

I learned so much, 
changing my outlook.

My image is different,
my reflection changed.

I would normally spiral
out of control.

Pulling a nose dive,
and crash into despair.

But not this time.

By comparison, I held up,
not by my words, but others.

I rethink how it went, and
where I faulted.

Where I was weak and where
I had grown.

My conquests outweighed
my failures.

Learning to move forward,
head held high.

Ready for what may come.
This is my time.
