Moving Forward

filled with pools of light
this peace touches me with open possibilities
 
shining through the windows of my mind
I finally fathom the simple fortune afforded me by loving life

I must clear blocks to happiness
knock down my villain-esque rituals
 
of negative thoughts
and harboring memories of a painful past
 
touch truth and love through faith in myself
helped by those surrounding me
 
friends and family teach me to appreciate
my gifts and abilities
 
give me strength to face all that life sends
help me accept the joy that can be mine
 
thankful for their help
I repay by living life exuberantly
