Deep in my heart I knew it was time to trust the magic of new beginnings
To stop letting fear hold me back from all I knew I was meant for
I knew I’d been in my own way long enough
The world was waiting for the magic only I could create
Ideas I had in abundance
I felt deep in my heart they were needed by so many
It was time to let go, take the leap and trust
Definitely time to trust more
In a world of uncertainty waiting for certainty
I’d be waiting forever, never savoring all I was meant to enjoy
It’s not enough to look at the cheesecake
One must take a bite of it too
Taste the flavors
Enjoy the delights
Maybe get some crumbs on our shirt
But that’s what napkins are for
To all those who reinforced not making mistakes
Not being allowed to change your mind
Not being allowed to try things, fall on your face and learn the lessons
I say those limitations aren’t for me anymore
Too long I let those fears keep me fenced in
Too long I kept myself small
Too long I believed all that nonsense
And while I’ll never get all those moments back
I can create new ones, with all the magic that’s been waiting
I know deep in my heart that right now, it’s time, for a brand new start
