I’m saying goodbye to the past
And the pain that it holds.
I’m letting go of the heaviness
That once pulled at my soul.
For once I’m saying no more,
I’m saying enough is enough,
And I’m moving on.
Finally…
I have been waiting for this day
For so long.
I’m free from the spiritual chains
That once held me in darkness.
My mind can finally think,
And I can finally breath.
After the dark clouds cleared the sky,
The sun shines in my life.
No more tears like an angry storm.
No more fear of feeling alone.
No.
It’s all over now.
My journey is settling down.
My love and patience was tested,
But I was never defeated
Because my strength overpowered
the wicked.
Yes!
I finally made it.
Now that I said goodbye to the old
The new and the good have room to grow.
This poem comes from a place of experience. I understand what it’s like to be lost and hopeless about life.
When I realized my marriage wasn’t going to get any better, and the weight was on my shoulders, it hurt. I drifted into a deep sadness, but from the outside I kept moving forward with the weight on my back.
Then I left him. I took on single motherhood, and it wasn’t easy in the beginning. The drama and high emotions during my seperation made things harder. My self-esteem plummeted, but I kept going.
The day I stood in front of the judge to confirm my decision, I shook like a little chihuahua (haha) because it was a life changing moment.
Today, I feel good inside. Everyday I am growing, learning, making friends, and living life. Because of how I feel, my surroundings are changing. My freelance business is growing, my circle of friends is changing for the better, and life with my babies is the best.
So say goodbye to the old and hello to the new.
Like I told my personal trainer when he said that ‘we’re going to get the old Christie back’, I told him “no, I’m ggoing to be a new and better Christie”. And so it is…I am doing just that.
