First day of school

New beginnings are not as hard when you've been through a few of them. 
As my wise 2nd grader said this morning: "I was new last year. This year I'm old." 

Watching my own child grow up, as well as going through various challenges myself, I now have so much confidence in the individual ability to experience setback, feel hurt, fall down and be pushed to reflect, be inspired to learn, evolve and grow. Ultimately, we can all get stronger and better, so whoever you are reading this, whatever you are going through, please know this: The best is yet to come. You will only get better. 
All that's required of you is a good attitude and an open heart. Don't lose faith. Don't close your heart. You will get everything you have ever dreamed of and more.

My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts.

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
