My reflection is dim and jaded
Unfinished goals sit weak and still
This heart beats numb and faded
How did my dreams used to feel?
I’m struggling to let brokenness go
To renew my peace and my mind.
New growth is desperate to flow
Life is too short to stop and rewind.
Beauty awakens from deep inside
To leave my painful past behind.
There are no more reasons to hide
My heart’s success is all in the mind.
