Smiles from my soul

Forever crying deep inside,
yearning will all I was to turn the tide.
Pack up my tears and allow myself to smile,
since I'd laughed it'd been longer than a while.

Avid to break away from looking through sad eyes,
unleashing my heart and soul as neither one dies.
Each day a struggle but always in my sight,
was not far away the brightest light.

Leading me home where everything would be okay,
inviting me to sit down as my pain melted away.
Making me see just how far I'd came,
finding safety in the knowledge I'd not been the one to blame.

Loving myself like no other did,
not suppressing my tears just like when I was a kid.
No longer troubled by my pain or woes,
for that chapter of my life had came to a close.

Not so lost as I was before,
as I'd found the courage to walk through the door.
That had done nothing but fill me with fear,
on the other side the ones I'd loved so dear.

Extending my hand I reach out and touch,
the people in my life who mean so much.
I know I'm on my way back to feeling whole,
as I give hugs from my heart and SMILES FROM MY SOUL!!!
