Breaking Resolutions This new year of 2014, I aspire to be a brand new me, And I say this every year, Trying to make a change for the better. Giving up halfway through, I don't have the strength. Start again later on, there is always time. Lying to myself so I don't feel I've missed my chance. I'm going to take the leap and risk the chance Of becoming a stranger to me. I've run out of excuses, I've run out of time, It all begins this year I will be a model of strength For myself, and I will work to be better. There will be no more waiting, I better Get moving, before my chances Slim, I have saved up enough strength By just waiting for good things to come to me. Too long I hid away, wasting my few years. It is my turn to make use of my time. I will no longer spend my time Holding back my better Words, releasing the stress from the closed up years. I will be who I want to be, chances Are they won't love it, but I will be me Just he same, they will see my hidden strength. I want to believe I have the strength To power through without a doubt, it will take effort, times Will darken and they will be relit and I will stand as me. No more worries about what they think is better. I will do as I please then there will be a chance That I will succeed in the coming year. I am breaking down the wall I built over the years, I am regaining lost strength, Fighting for my fair chance To prove I haven't wasted my time. I am creating a better #life for myself, in which I am free to be me. I am the me I've wanted, it has taken too many years. I am getting better, I have found new strength. Why have I waited all this time to take this simple chance?

A Nightingale In A Golden Cage The nightingale rests in her golden cage, Her soft head pressed against the bars. Her silky dark feather now barred by wealth, They cage her in gold to make her like them, Much rather prefers her simpler ways. Missing the star studded nights, Her sweet song echoing in the night. Forced to hear her chip blunted in the golden cage. Tries to fly out, wings smack the bars Feeling weak she flutters to the ground, The nightingale lays in the golden cage. #titlechallenge #nightingale
