Starting Now

by Samantha - Scorpio

It always used to be
Me always on my knees
Looking down
Instead of up
Looking behind
Instead of forward
I guess now is the time 
I have to get it all together
Change it all with just a sideward glance

Starting now
There's no more tears
No holding on to exboyfriends
Or past friendships no longer held
Time for change of email
Change of screen name
Change of number
Change of everything

Starting now
I'm no longer staying down
Letting them treat me the way that they have
I'm letting go of all the people always tying me down
I'm no longer going to fear the coming day or closing night
I'm being who I want to be
And not letting them get to me

So starting now
January 1st, 2002
I am reborn
Brand new.

Reason for writing:

    Changing my life around. Letting go of the past. Welcoming my future. Simple as that. I don't think it all came out right but that's what I'm doing.
