In 10 Years

July 24, 2020

Life will be good

And I'll be free

From the hurt and the pain

That had a hold over me

Won't push people away

I'll have learned to trust

I’ll smile in the mirror

No trace of disgust

No longer over thinking

I'll always be myself

I'll do what I need

Not to please someone else

Reality Accepted

I'll let myself feel

Won't be in my head

I'll know what is real

I will be happy

Content and free

Grateful for the hurt

That made me, me
