Starting over

A seedling pushes through the dirt,
Though battered, broken, still it’s worth.
The storm has passed, the skies are clear,
A new start whispers near.

The past may haunt with shadows deep,
Mistakes like echoes tend to seep.
But every tear, each lesson learned,
Is fuel for bridges not yet burned.

A breath, a step, a steady pace,
No need to rush, it’s not a race.
Each choice a stone to pave the way,
A brighter road, a lighter day.

To fix yourself is not to shame,
But honor growth, embrace the flame.
The fire refines, it doesn’t destroy,
It shapes the soul, reveals the joy.

So start anew, forgive, repair,
Untangle doubts and shed despair.
You’re not the person you once knew—
You’re stronger now, and breaking through.
