When I cross

Unknown

That bridge in my life, I know I will be ready for that new change.

Because everything I needed to let go of has been set free like a bird back into nature.

So moving forward, I know I’m doing the right thing as I am at ease and my soul is at peace.

Nothing makes me feel overwhelmed as the picture is crystal clear of what I need to do and how to do it.

The fog in my soul and heart is gone, and I’m smiling on the outside and feeling good on the inside.

Self-doubt is not the first thing that hits me now as I start something new in my life.

My bridge to hope, strength, love, faith, and certainty has arrived, and I’m ready to cross over and leave the past and the hurt behind me.

Stronger than

I was before as I danced around in the rain with no care.

With nothing holding me down as I’ve let go of the past entirely, it feels good.

And now I’m in the right mind and moving with so much more of me.

No more holding on to the words that carry no meaning to who I am now.

Memories come and go, but I’m ready to stay strong in who I have become and who I am looking forward to being.

I ain’t going

To lie, I don’t want to listen to your words anymore because I don’t care to share in that negativity anymore.

I’m happy and free for once, and I don’t need anything to taint this blissful feeling and life I have now.

So whatever happens here, I am happy for myself, and the rest is a mess but not one worth being cleaned up by me anymore.

The outcome is an ending I don’t care to know or worry about.

To be

yourself with that one person as you enjoy their company on a nice spring day

Sitting on a blanket on the beach is one of your favorite places, so you just let this moment be so peaceful and honest.

You open up and share whatever comes to your mind as you nibble on the fruit spread out in front of you and you take a sip of your drink when you get a chance.

And repeatedly you look away and just appreciate everything around you as you feel the gratitude of how grateful and thankful you are for this life that is giving to you.

Admiring

You as you push away the negativity and embrace the positive ways of life.

You push down your walls to let back in pieces of the world you want to enjoy again or the first time.

Not everything in life is nasty and dark, but some things are light and bright and full of joy.

Making you let go of the fears that are holding you back from living the life you need to live now or never. It’s up to you!

I hope it’s now as the day comes to an end, and tomorrow will come, and hopefully, you will know what to do.
