i was raised to be everything

a little girl should be

until years passed by…

that little girl was stuck inside of me

i became a princess…

always had my kings’ defenses

i loved life… every part of it

living swept me off my feet.

to live in my “ever after”

i thought i have grown

until i was backed into a corner

to live a life i have never ever known.

•

i was suddenly full of zest

and amazingly feel the richest

all the things i once held dear

i let go… along with my fear

over the days, months of my journey

i walked a path and i followed simply

it was the realization of how life should be

and i was brought back

to find out on the thing i lacked.

it wasn’t a new pair of shoe

it wasn’t a new pair of earrings

but somehow the path led me to You.

i saw the rain fall, and feel the sun shine over

when i was backed into a corner.

•

i saw the world with new set of eyes

was blessed with a brand new heart

so many things and feelings to compromise

but this is what i was looking for right from the start.

its funny how i lost

everything and everyone i thought meant the most

but only held them dear

only because i simply lived in fear.

for years… i put up a brave smile on my face

but the scared little girl was never erased

i grew up… or so i thought i did

but never out grown the heart that once did bleed.

until i felt the wind brushed my skin

and listened to that little voice within

i had to start my life over…

when i am backed into a corner.

•

like the tree when it loses its leaves

in the autumn, it changes the color

one by one the leaf may fall

but tree will always stand tall.

everyone i know is like a tree

we stand firm, leaf fall freely

we can not control who will stay

simply just make a moment each and everyday.

our lives are always in season

sometimes we wither, sometimes in full bloom

we never get around to staying in winter

but it felt like it… when i was backed into a corner.

•

but when the first sun began to rise

i saw the world with new set of eyes

the colors vivdly touched my core

the world has finally opened a brand new door.

to lose would have pained me so

but the pain just vanished when i learned to let go

i cannot play God anymore

a window has closed,… its time to open the door.

i walked out of the familiar pleasure

to be brought back in for an even valuable treasure

that has given me joy beyond measure.

i simply just came clean. and followed the road

walked. ran. and an unseen hand to hold.

if only everyone could feel…

joy and peace and this is real

my heart is overflowing with love like the river..

because i let go.. when i was backed into a corner..
