Old to New

Days carry on,
Such endlessly.
My thoughts fill my head,
Daydreaming of better days.

Tonight is time
To break free,
From the past
Into the future.

Lights shine from above,
The stars call out to me.
Let me be stong enough,
Let me be brave enough.

Breaking free.
The hardest thing.
The time is right.
The time is now.

Let my breath be steady.
My heart aches,
Yet it yearns.
For the unknown.

Goodbye,
Yet hello.
From the old,
To the new.

Wish me luck,
On the journey.
Taking chances,
Dancing with fire.
