My New Start
I was pushed to my limit and to the edge,
But I pulled myself together enough to push against my pain,
My feet slowly gaining ground against my challenges,
And once I was free from prison I decided to ask around,
And then I found someone who caught my eye,
She was just right in every way, but I was unsure how to ask,
I wrote a poem and told her what I was asking,
My heart was in my throat as we talked but then she told me yes,
Then I felt as thou someone gave me a new start,
A new start and a new journey, a fresh start,
I still remember the scares of life I still have,
But now I look up to the clouds and say thank you,
I will enjoy my new outlook and a new breath to breath,
I hold her hand tight with love and respect,
Hoping that I will never have to return to prison stripes,
I would do anything to keep her close to my heart,
A burden that prays the night and my mind,
My heart prays to love her forever,
My mind set to protect my happiness with her,
But for now my eyes remain open and so do my ears,
I will only act to protect when time says to,
And my story begins with her and my past tied together.
