Spring Cleaning

 

 

I started some spring cleaning which was long overdue

Threw out unnecessary things and added some things new

Out went my inhibitions

They were holding me back

Accompanying them were my superstitions

I am better off now, that those I lack

Depression was next on the list

Took a lot of boxes to pack that up, but to get rid of it

Just needed one swift kick!!!

My hurts and grudges were weighing me down

Threw them out too, didn’t need them around

Insecurities were next, was scared to let those go

If those would go, the real me I would know

After a lot of deliberation, I reached a decision

Insecurities would have to go, to retain them there was no reason.

Some wounds were deep; I had never let them heal

My loved ones offered me their love, to help them seal

Anger and strife

Now they no longer had a place in my life

Now that I had got rid of so much

Had to get out a few things out of storage

Out came sense, and walking with it side-by-side was courage

Dignity, empathy, respect and love

Had always been the front runners in my life

Added confidence and assertiveness

I think now I’ll do just fine

There are still a lot of changes to be made

So many things that would be cool

But I’ll make them all in my own sweet time

Did I ever tell you I am as stubborn as a mule!!!
