Forging Ahead In 2018

All of my insecurities cannot be blamed on you
As it goes back every one of those people who
Said they loved me and really cared about me,
But when things were too challenging to see
Through all the way, they just simply walked
Away, so excuse me if I ever thought I talked
Too quietly or laughed too loud. I will no longer
Apologize for being myself 100%. I am stronger
Than most people give me credit for because I am
Not scared of speaking my mind or giving a damn
About anyone else’s opinions. I no longer mind
The curly or messy hair. I am no longer confined
To small spaces or close minded people. Doubts
That were once whispered in my ear are routes
And hurdles to jump over because I know I will
Be free from every one of them again. Every thrill
I stopped chasing because I was told no become
Caterpillars and butterfly wings. Every thumb
Print that turn into footprints walking towards
Every single dream and possibility. Surfboards
That will take me on crazy, wild adventures and
Into big waves. You can either take my hand
And join me for the journey ahead or get off at
The next stop. Life is never one swing of the bat.
