Good Life Poem by Mary OBrien

It is a better life I lead
By following my own path
Breaking restraints of the past
Breathing deep and letting go
Having enough courage to say, 'no'
Fighting fear by not giving in
Fueling my spirit from within
Filling in cracks and healing scars
Looking up towards the stars
Accepting I'm bent not broken
With my arms wide open
Embracing things yet to come
With a new song to be sung
My destiny, is the one I make
My life is not yours to take
Faithfully I bear my soul
Finally I'm feeling whole
So much better the life that I lead
Now I know I am the only one I need
