Life Turned Around

Life does a 180 when it turns out
Differently than you expected
And then you begin to doubt
Everything. When you feel rejected,
Lost and like everyone around you
Is saying "No, but nice try" is when
You need to take a step up to
Say "Yes I can." Where you have been
Will not matter as you are going in
A different direction. Nobody should
Judge you based on your every sin
And past mistake. The good
Girl reputation should still be yours
To keep because it is who you are,
No matter what. Even if those doors
Closed, you find that new star
And something you are excited
About. You have to swallow
That bitter pill. You have lighted
And found your own path to follow.
Where it leads? Nobody will know,
Isn't that the mystery? But I am
Not about to ruin, destroy or blow
Opportunities when things slam
Into me super hard and trying
To knock me over because I will
Keep walking. The tears are all drying
Up and this face is ready for the thrill.
