It never ceases to amaze me, <br />how life continues to change. <br />One minute, one hour, one day you're here... <br />and the next, life has been re-arranged. <br /> <br />The two of our lives were so inner-mingled, <br />I never imagined us living apart. <br />But here I am standing alone at a crossroad... <br />with a brand new life, making a brand new start. <br /> <br />I never wanted to go it alone... <br />in you I thought I'd won the grand prize. <br />But for some, when the going gets tough... <br />the tough politely wave their good byes. <br /> <br />It only hurts when I breathe... <br />breathing in and out an emptiness so vast. <br />I'm lost in a desert oasis, where I thirst... <br />unable to fly my colors of life at full mass. <br /> <br />I continue to search relentlessly... <br />trying to find myself buried within the debris. <br />Daily I rediscover pieces from the wreckage... <br />of a person that I know can only be me. <br /> <br />A million insecurities I face with fear... <br />they come racing at me in my head. <br />Today I choose to face those fears... <br />and bury the life with you that is dead. <br /> <br />Come...go...stay...leave... <br />which direction will I finally take? <br />Indecision is not an option for me anymore... <br />the right choices for me I now must make. <br /> <br />I know you'll put your money on my failure... <br />you don't think I can play to win. <br />Today I must move on without you... <br />without you is where I now will begin.<br /><br />Shelly Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-new-begining/
