Listen to the wind, boasting her great strength

Knowing of her cleansing powers, yet hurting all the same.

She rustles up old problems passed, and renews the hurt and pain;

She brings about a certain feeling, that of emotional stains.

What can we do to change the way things are?

Accept the wind for who she is, accept her for her sins.

If we can finally do this, then our process -- it begins

listen to the wind,
and
                   learn
                                        to
        ­                                                      live
  ­                                                                 ­                      again.

I believe in second chances,
Everyone screws up.
I'm gracious with these second chances
Especially with those that I love.

When liars and cheaters are revealed,
I could wield vengeance and hate.
But why wreak havoc on them,
When I could forgive and forget?

While second chances are important,
Two chances are enough.
Improvement must be made by then,
And boy, it will be tough.

Here is where I rest my thoughts;
Here is where I silence the voices
Telling me, "you're not good enough"
They're all incessant noises.
All my life I've spent *******
By my overwhelming fears
With abundant negativity
Falling on deaf ears.
If I leave my worries here,
And look through positive eyes,
I'll be happier - fulfilled.
Dismissing all the lies.
Here is where I rest my thoughts..on the wings of hope.
