Looking back on your life.This is a poem written simply for that.

You look back a year from now….
The path has stretched from not caring to holding onto to life.
So i look back at my life.
I see the person looking back at me.
I see life different.
I feel invincible.
I can be anything and do anything.
The sky isn’t the limit.
Life is too short to make sure you don’t dance in the rain.
Kiss deeper.
Love without fear.
This is where i never dreamed i’d be.
I’m not afraid to show who i truly am.

The world keeps spinning.
And i wondered a year if i’d ever get through this….the heartbreak.
Left for shattered pieces.
Left for dreaming of being able to look at myself.
To love again.
To live again.
The ground seemed like just shadow.
Than the sky turned to blue skies.
The sky isn’t the limit.
I look back…
I realize now that your worst enemy is yourself.
I realize to trust that all will work out even when your scared.
Take that fall….
Fall hard.
Don’t worry about if that cord is perfectly ready for you jump.
Jump anyways.
The tells you isn’t not okay show all your true colors….

Others may chatter.
But you realize now that you have to live with yourself and no else.
There’s a million ways to hide in your own hole in life.
There are moments you wonder how strong you truly are.
Just believe, have the faith.
I’d live my past all over again….
Just to look back now and say,”I’m strong.I’ve come this far.”
You learn now…to dream big no matter the distance or frustration.
Take that leap.
I’m the person who will keep your memory alive.
For the lives that are looking down from heaven.
Your memory lies deep within my soul.
So i remember i’ve made it this far…..and i’m willing to give it all i have.
To embrace this journey.
Whether there are cross roads, wrong turns, dead ends, broken bridges.
I’ve learned to pull that U-turn.
Find where there are no dead ends.
And rebuild that broken bridge to cross.
This world is made to take chance…

Your stronger than you look.
And when you get weak you’ll find yourself still looking at yourself and knowing you’ve made it this far.
It’s you against the world.
That world telling you, you can’t. It can’t be done.
When you decide to jump…and just have faith.
You’ll learn the sky is no limit.
You’ll learn as I that you are strong.
You’ll learn the worst things in life arent pieces you can’t fix.
There’s no puzzle to hard that can’t be done without one more person to help you find that missing pieces.
You learn two is better than one.
Looking back on the memories i’ve learned it’s okay to leap with fear.
But to leap with faith.
To take the courage to become the person you dreamed you someday would become.
Cause life is better left to chance.
Life is better left to dream big.
To fall hard.
To love deeper.
To embrace good and bad.
To dance in the rain.
Smile when the sun is out.
I wouldn’t change a thing….
Cause now….
I look back….
I see the woman standing infront of me.
I see that life should never be taken lightly.
I wouldn’t miss this dance…..
I wouldn’t change a thing.
So i could look back now….and see your better off to leap and fall than never leap at all.
