Looking

Where is my courage
To live my dreams
Under a rock perhaps
Or so it seems
I woke up today
With a smile on my face
Like all the previous stressors
Had been erased
I'm not naive to think
They're suddenly gone
But I'm finding pleasure
In not having that frown
I'm connecting with self
Getting reacquainted with who I am
Stumbling recently
But it's not too late to begin again
My dreams are just
A courageous step away
And when I'm done crying
Perhaps I'll remember what it's like to play
Time to live my dreams
And love my life
I had forgotten my role
I am a wife.
