ON MY OWN
LEAVING MY COMFORT ZONE,
NO LONGER A COMFORT TO ME,
STARTING OVER BY MYSELF,
MANY CHALLENGES, I DIDN'T SEE.
NOW, I MUST PAY THE PRICE,
FOR DECISIONS THAT I MADE,
TO LIVE MY LIFE ON MY OWN,
WONDERING, IF I COULD HAVE STAYED...
THE INNER PEACE THAT I HAVE,
IS WORTH ALL I LEFT BEHIND,
TO LIVE, FREE OF THE TURMOIL
ALONE,I STAND, ONE MORE TIME.
TREASURES I ONCE HELD DEAR,
ARE NOW FOR FROM SIGHT,
IN THERE ABSENCE, I DO NOT FRET
NOR DO I HAVE A SLEEPLESS NIGHT.
FROM WHERE YOU ARE, IT MAY SEEM,
I ACTED HASTILY,
HOW EASILY YOU JUDGE ME,
THERE WAS SO MUCH YOU DIDN'T SEE.
NOW I STRUGGLE, BECAUSE I MUST
TO GET BACK ON MY FEET
EACH DAY I GROW STRONGER
ONE BY ONE, MY FEARS I DEFEAT.
THE STRENGTH I HAVE IS NOT MY OWN
I'M RENEWED ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY
BY GRACE AND MERCY THAT HE'S SHOWN
FAITHFULLY I WALK! I PRAISE! I PRAY!
