I'm trying to change my ideas,

The default of how I see my life,

To beauty and possible alternatives,

I can be a raving pessimist,

But deeply want to experience absolute happiness,

So what's stopping me from this?

The thoughts.

They haunt and taunt,

I want to be free,

To dream of the future,

To see the present change,

To create a new beginning.

I'll start with me,

With less talking and more dreaming, Less affirmations, And more actioning,

Because life is for living, and living I must.
