No more second guessing
Time to cast away the doubts,
The insecurities and the fears
And go with my gut instincts
The first thought or answer to come to mind is usually true
No more beating up myself
What's done is done -- it's a thing of the past
Time to accept it, reflect upon it, gain from it, and move on
No more bouts with despair
Time to move beyond and get over things that I simply do not have the power
Or control to change
No more worrying
Time to channel that energy into something better
Something useful
Something creative
Time to just live and let it be
No more tears being wasted
On those who said that they loved me
Or those who said that they cared
It's their loss, not yours
No more sweating the small stuff
Because it's just that
Time to accept letdowns and disappointments as tests of character,
Endurance and strength
They are gifts in disguise
It's all a part of life's journey
And I'm going to enjoy the ride
Whatever happens, happens
However the cards will be dealt
I can guarantee this:
The game will be played and it will be played well
I am now more aware of myself than ever before
I realize that nothing is wrong with me
I am perfectly fine
No more downgrading or shortchanging
I accept myself for who I am
I will not bow down or fall victim to the expectations
Of what everyone says I am supposed to be
No more
I am all of who I am supposed to be and much more
Take it or leave it
