Yours truly made a change,
invented myself new.
Controlling my own stage,
to me, I will be true.
All energy within
wishes to shine brightly.
Now destined for the wins,
embracing joys tightly.
The new me always laughs,
likes to dance and enjoy.
No longer feels like half,
filled up every last void.
Some thunderstorms crash hard
to clear up hidden wounds.
Sometimes a single drop
can feed a whole commune.
Why cry and carry pain?
Instead, let go and heal.
Life should be filled with gain,
not problems and ordeals.
Each breath will come and go,
lifetimes can feel so brief.
Inner change helped me grow,
by turning a new leaf.
