I made a decision to change my life and now it feels crazy weird and I feel crazy weird and nothing feels normal anymore and so I need to get used to a new normal. I dare not look back because there is nothing to look back to.

Debris Be Gone
I cleared the debris cluttering my life and as I stood back to examine the result I knew with certainty that yes, indeed, the path hidden beneath all the dead wood really would lead to an as yet undiscovered
Magical world
Living Hope
I lived in fear for years on end
My soul was tied and bound
I had no place outside my realm
No open path that I could tell
I gave up hope, resigned to life
My bed was made so down I laid
But change came by and saw the heart
My tears had nearly drowned
I closed my eyes and lift my arms
I surrendered all to God
Please help me, Lord, my life is yours
I have nowhere else to go
He heard my prayers and felt my pain
And wiped it all away
I thank you Lord for all you’ve done
For all my life might be
I’ll live my days to glorify
My living hope in Thee!
Candle Flame
As much as we’ve received
Let us share our gifts with grace
Our joy is like a candle flame
To light the eyes and face
Well-Wishes I Wish
I only realized how toxic the environment was until I left after ten years of service without even a card to well-wish my days ahead.
Did I wish for a well-wish? I would have been touched by the gesture.
Hero
It feels weird
To move outside a comfort zone
It feels weird
To say goodbye to all I’ve known
It feels weird
To stand outside a closed locked door
When suddenly
It opens for me no more
It feels weird
To finally know
I’m alone
I’ve become my own
Hero
There Must Be Sun
I’ve broken free
From painful fears
I’ve torn the ropes
Around my wrist
Shadows fall
Around my feet
So this I know
There must be sun
Give and Take
I entered through the doors
That would open for days to follow.
Days turned into years
A decade saw it through
I cried at times, and smiled as well.
I had fun and also
I didn’t.
I stood up for myself, and gave it my all.
I gave what I could.
For now, I will take and
Say thanks when I do.
Changing Lives
I have changed my life before.
Bid farewell to the way things were.
I left my home, my friends, my family.
I left my job. I left my land. I left my country.
With faith that something better was in view.
With faith, I’m doing it all again.
I’m saying goodbye. To friends. To work.
To security.
I’m starting somewhere new.
