June 1.

A fresh start, something is different today.

The universe has guided me,

This is what I have been waiting for.

It has taken forever, but you are finally here.

The freedom I have needed,

My heart full of cheer.

I am no longer sad,

I am no longer waiting,

I am no longer trying,

I have turned a new leaf,

I have realized my worth.

It is time to start living,

Starting today, June 1st.

People stop me on the street,

My energy infectious,

Thanks to you, the world sees me.

Because you left,

I am able to shine.

Thank you for everything,

My heart is now all mine.

I am ready to take on the world,

The ideas flowing unlike before,

I believe in myself now,

And I am no longer a bore.

It is within me now,

The light I have dimmed.

I am letting it shine,

From inside out,

To every limb.

That was a glorious day,

Six years ago to be exact,

Now I sit here feeling numb,

The light no longer in tact.

Where did it all go?

Why did I let it slip away?

From coast to coast,

That spirit, I have betrayed.

Why do I let others take it,

This light I need for myself?

How do I get it back?

Is it somewhere on a shelf?

I know my worth,

I know my light,

I know my strength,

For any fight.

But today, June 1st,

It is hidden in the fog.

I wish that girl was back,

So I could move on.

My heart is heavy,

My mind is grim,

Please come back to me,

Strong, sweet girl,

For you, I need a win.
