Starting over

Like a bird, 

I will rise,

I’ll open my eyes, 

get off the dirt.

My wings I’ll open,

ready to fly.

It might take a moment, 

but I will rise.

I’ll give it a chance, 

I’ll give it a try,

To the great miracle 

that is life. 

I’m not gonna lie, 

I know it’ll be hard, 

but I promise this time

I’ll give it my best.

 I look into the ocean

in hope of a new start,

or maybe of a siren 

to be seen from afar.

The sun glistens on my lashes,

there’s a new rhythm in my heart,

hopefully now the darkness 

has finally gone afar. 

I look into the ocean

and from my eyes tears fall,

I no longer see it as a weapon,

but rather as a symbol of hope 

for a brand new start.
