A Change of Pace

A Poem by a Magnolia Creek Client

In a world full of lonesome and drama
Where I continuously feel alone
I can’t find the right words and meanings
Or the correct path to go down

Riddled by low self esteem
And caught in the muddle of thought
My mind races around and around
And I can’t help but let go

However the past has gone now
And my future ahead looks bright
I have the heart and the courage
To make it through another night

I know I can flip the story
And start a new chapter in my book
Find ways to feel truly happy
Not based on the way I look

I could write raps, write poems and create art
All relating to how I feel
I’m starting to feel real good at heart
Allowing myself to heal

Connect myself through nature
Appreciating the world around me
Not comparing my self value to him or her
Just looking at God’s beauty I see

Spend more quality time with friends
And have laughs and fun with family
I no longer wish for my life to end
That’s not the definition of me

Channel thought and energy to production
Create a genuinely happy version of me
Not let the violators act as suction
And take a tight grip of me

I’m learning to deal with my thoughts now
I feel peace and contentment inside
I don’t overanalyze who, what and who
And my pain I no longer hide

I’m a passionate and refreshed new person
My imperfections and flaws are alright
My uniqueness brings out a big bright sun
And I’m no longer scared of the night
