I’ve decided that after everything I’ve been through,

The least I could do is give myself time—

To grow, learn, cry if I need to (and I’ve needed to)

Give myself time to fall in love,

Give myself time to adjust...

To accept that life has changed.

Time to accept that life is forever changing,

Time to question it all.

Time to be depressed...

Time to be anxious—

To be up high and feel truly unreachable,

To be at my lowest and still feel unbreakable.

Time to succeed, time to fail if I must

Time to live for me and only me...

Time to write— from a different place

Hoping that all this growing, learning, and loving can be seen.
