stuff that I used to feel, I don’t feel anymore

I don’t pick my teeth anymore, am i less stressed?

I’m moving at a new pace, I’m making new plans

I’m taking time for myself, I’m learning

how to say what I mean, I’ve leaving fear behind

I’m saying what is, and understanding more

the importance of listening and saying involved.

No shortage of opportunities, though

I convince myself otherwise

paying attention to what is around me

instead of reaching out to grasp at something

that doesn’t want to be held close anyway.

everyday needs a goal and i’m okay with taking it

one day at a time.

memories are there for those who want them

but not everyone need to keep checking behind them

to make sure they are on the right path.
