Awakening

I must leave you behind
my dissolving past
to step into the actual present.
I must put you down
my heavy burden
to embrace a lighter heart.
I must set off again
in search of me
a better me
so real, so new
as never before.

With gratitude
I announce to me
I realize finally
that I have to find my way
and be sure of it
I will be able
to find a way of my own.
A brand new way
A brand new me.
