Finding My Way Back to Myself

Sitting here, remembering my life, I ask myself: How did I end up here? I have no regrets, only a lot of lessons learned. I always try to take a step forward without looking back. I try not to cry, but the tears come anyway.

I know I will find the strength to go on. Why did it take so long? I will close my eyes and see my future, and that will help me find where I am supposed to be.

I remember now where I need to go and what I need to do. I know it will be alone, and I know I will be fine. My time is precious, and no one seems to see that. I hide what is inside so I do not have to lie.

The people I meet and the places I go have touched my life in ways no one will ever know. The smiles on strangers’ faces, some who become my friends, are what keep me moving forward.

Did I finally learn how to stand up and face what has been in my mind this whole time? It is amazing how long it took, but it is exactly what I needed to find my life in the right place.

I know I will find the strength to go on. Why did it take so long? I will close my eyes and see my future, and that will help me find where I am supposed to be.

I do not want to turn around, because that road was long and hard. I am at a place I never thought I would reach, but now I know it is where I was always supposed to be.

As I feel that pit in my stomach, the one that always tells the truth, I let that truth find its way out, and there I go again.

Time and time again, just look at me now. I thank God for the strength He gives me. Oh, how I love my life now, and I will not back down.

I know I will find the strength to go on. Why did it take so long? I will close my eyes and see my future, and that will help me find where I am supposed to be.
