Time to stop waiting at the footsteps of others.
waiting for them to fulfill their promises;
my promises that i made
that i myself never fulfilled.
time to stop throwing out these words
that are supposed to have meaning
and start to keep them in my heart
where they are most dear to me.
time to stop breaking my own heart
and do nothing but fulfill
my own words
that i myself
crushed down to nothing.
giving new meaning
to my meaningless efforts
and cutting this umbilical cord
that connected me to her.
moving on and walking forward with life,
not staring back,
but maybe i might just give it a glance
or two.
heel, toe
walking forward
with this positive strut.
showing you how this time,
really,
I'm changing.
it's time to start building
from this ground
where i had laid down
all these years.
time to start moving up
and climbing;
create dreams and promises
that this time around,
i really do mean to fulfill.
building this up
and smiling at the same time.
no more closed eyes
and no more such thing as fantasies
because i will make them come true.
