Getting Somewhere

She doesn’t know quite yet

Who she wants to be.

She doesn’t know quite yet

How all her pieces fit together.

But she knows she’s getting there.

She knows she isn’t standing still anymore.

She knows she can’t let anything or anyone

Stop her from living

The life she’s always wanted.

Behind her blue eyes

And her forced smile,

She has a dream.

And finally,

She’s done giving up her dreams

For people who don’t really want

What’s best for her.

For the first time in her life,

She has a plan

That she won’t change for anyone.

For the first time in her life,

She won’t be standing on the sidelines

Watching everyone else

Find their happy endings.

For the first time in her life,

She knows it’s all going to work out.
