Before and Now
- Road trips and family vacation made me nervous.
- It gave me anxiety to be far away from my home.
- I used to hate leaving and swore that I wasn't going far.
- That is who I was,
- scared and timid and in a box.
- Being content with myself I left it alone.
- Years went by just like this,
- ill destruction shock the foundation of the family.
- Anxiety creeped back in, for I didn't know where my home was.
- Hurt, confusion, and loneliness drowned me.
- At my most raw self
- something fait stirred inside.
- Was it an idea?
- Was it insanity?
- The tickle grew.
- It felt like... wonder?
- Leading me to think
- all about places I could go, people that I could be.
- All that thinking go me walking out side of the box.
- ideas that took me to leave, travel, fly
- all the things I thought that would never happen.
- Finding comfort by
- soring in scratchy coach and climbing deep inside valleys,
- seeking an finding myself in a selfless manner.
- Looking back I wouldn't change a thing.
- Now seeing over a great deal of white dusty snow,
- on the top of a mountain is where is where
- I found my home.
