Inspired by Michelle Zurawski

For I have been taking down,
the demons sweet attack.
I now know better,
to never ever look back.

Here I am older
and so much bolder,
no more time for show.
To conquer new things,
for I am ready to go.

For it's time to put the
bitter past behind me.
I have something to prove,
to be the best I can be.

I simply had enough,
get out of my stinkin' way.
I shall give it all I got,
to see what life has for me today.

Now I must apply to,
what has been learned.
From what is no longer,
so I have turned.

I'll march upon this hill,
I'll climb these rocks on my knees,
if i have to.
Nothing to hold me still,
to get out of my way
is what you must do.
