A new beginning.
Where do I start?
What am I feeling?
This is not how I wanted it to be.
How could my heart betray my logical thinking?

So many years not making any mark.
A new life to worry about.
How will I provide?
What are my skills?
Why did I wait so long to
figure it all out?

So many questions I ask myself.
My head is racing,
my heart is full of doubt.
If I'd only done something for all those years past.
Maybe I wouldn't feel so hopeless.
Yearning for something out of my grasp.

Now I must trudge forward,
step through the mess that is my life.
Make something of myself.
Something more than a housewife.

My little girl needs me,
I need to be strong.
Life is what you make of it,
right or wrong.

So, here I am,
Trying my best.
Figuring out my life,
Putting me to the test.

I can do this,
I have faith in me.
I am stronger than I thought,
I will rebuild my little family.
