New Leaf
I don’t remember my face looking that way;
I don’t remember my eyes shining so bright;
I don’t remember my smile being so stunning
Or my face being so bright.
I don’t remember my hips curving so sweetly
Or my shoulders sloping like a queen’s
I don’t remember my walk being so confident
Like a general with her army
I don’t remember the motivation
That never seems to stop
I don’t remember the drive
That does anything but drop
I hear a different voice now when I open my mouth;
I see my eyes without dark circles, and I’m not sure why —
I sleep less now than I ever did —
I feel a new happiness glowing in my heart,
Radiating in a way that can never be hidden.
