I may still hurt
But I think I’ve opened a new door
I may still cry
But I think I’m beginning to soar
I may still worry
But the world is an oyster and I’m pearl
He gave me this map
I must run the lap
I must complete the race
I must win the lap
but it’s more than that
I must grow old and fat
I must own a dog and a couple of cats
But above all
I don’t want to trip and fall
I don’t want to make my final call
I want to stand high and tall
Above each and all

I wrote this as I was finally beginning to trust, love, and feel alive once again. I go through a state of hardship and eventually gain stability and goals.
