Breakthrough ...

BREAKTHROUGH

Looking into a glared mirror

Brown eyes viewing many smile lines 

That remind me of the stories they hold 

And the miles my feet have taken me 

Moments come and go in my mind 

Tears rolling down my pink cheeks 

Realizing I have such a long way to go 

Striving for the best version of myself 

These moments live within me 

Some snapshots have been silenced 

In a busy world that never goes quiet

Times that will never be erased 

I have visited calming spaces 

Walked stone covered beaches 

Sang songs as loud as I could 

To find a way to breakthrough 

My colored lips remain closed 

To keep all of my words in

Becoming a gatekeeper of my world

Until I can view the light easier

Finding calm in the everyday 

Rain that cleanses all

Blue skies that bring us hope 

A new season bringing us into a new year
