restart

open your eyes and blink off sadness
get up! stretch out and free yourself
from rumpled memories
gurgle with harsh grains of truths
spit out the lies, cleanse your tongue
of ambiguity and vagueness

wash your face off with traces of pain
soap off betrayals and rinse out frustrations
buff with hope, for what there remains
towel off with a smile, to face a new day

strip off clothes of deception
those you clung on to steadfastly too long
wear humbled fabrics of acceptance
and a mild fragrance of inspiration

yes..it is a new day!
a new life begins

forget dreams of the past, they
will never be now, undream them!
remember how they have turned?
nightmares...
succumbing to fears, you remained
waiting, deceiving yourself
make believing those monsters
were there to to give you strength

they failed you, let them, let you
down...

let yesterday remain where it must
old pages of lessons learned
turn them once over, never go back
leave them where they belong...
be yesterdays of now

today is a new day, come out
shed off the cocoon that you let engulf
with false promise of security and warmth

see the sun!
rise above you, bask in its warmth
live anew!
come out now...live and love and hope
bravely
your new day has begun!
