Starting Fresh

Thu, 10/15/2015 - 14:38 -- Cyko101
Every step taken, brings you towards something new
 
A fresh plain an even higher plateau 
 
Do not take anything to heart
 
For its fragile yet constantly resilient 
 
Always able to beat on 
 
There will be those who try to break it
 
Those who try to take it
 
Understand there is still hope for you
 
There is always someone who still cares
 
Even if it is only you 
 
Search for the people who
 
Won’t take advantage, won’t discourage, rather will encourage
 
To believe you are worth it
 
To believe you have something to bring
 
It may not be much, yet it’s yours
 
Original, can’t be remade or even duplicated 
 
People who find themselves in the dark
 
See how bright you shine and despise it
 
They will come at you harder than ever
 
For once below you, they grab at the ankles
 
Forcefully bringing you down to their level
 
Yet if you find yourself in the dirt
 
Wipe it away, anything and everything can be washed
 
Even your past, even repeated actions
 
For with tomorrow, there is the unknown 
 
Unknown is the power that comes from within
 
Knowing you do control all your actions all your influences
 
Good, bad it’s forever around you
 
When cornered without a clue 
 
Rely on the people who are true
 
People that push your toward a better tomorrow
 
And if you have done wrong, let go
 
They care about it as much as you keep it as a care
 
Get rid of it, realize the mistake and move on
 
Keep it only as a memory, a picture or a memoir 
 
The moment you put it as the past
 
It becomes behind you 
 
And anything behind you, can be called history
 
A lesson learned.
