It just seems as if I had embarked on this journey yesterday

Now, it’s already time to bid farewell

I wish I would have lived and enjoyed day after day

But now, I am prepared to tackle life well

---

This journey might have been filled with negativity

As it taught me to appreciate the positivity within me

People came and went, but not many stayed

I thank them for showing me those that mattered

---

With every rise and every fall came a new lesson

Which taught me not to underestimate the power of words

Sometimes, silence is better than to reckon

As I come to realize the strength of these wounds

---

They kept telling me to keep moving and hustling

Found hope in the most hopeless places of all

Learning to appreciate the simple act of breathing

Where all the mystery prevails!
