Time

There was a time I thought
I knew how my life would be.
Things have changed and there
were choices facing me.
I'm not a quitter but this
one was HARD.
The urge to curl up and slowly
die was something I did for awhile.
Something woke in me one day and I
said to myself-WHY?
Why have I let
myself curl up to die?
I woke that day with light
in my eyes.
And changed.
