It all began in a small town,

a young girl with dreams that

couldn't be knocked down,

a loud mind but for miles you won't hear a sound,

not even the beat of her heart

pound.

Being young living stress free,

had her care free from thinking what

the world might be,

for all she knows this is the life that

she may always see,

everyday no worries almost

guranteed.

All grown up 10 years later had her

feeling stuck,

not knowing which way to go,

she began to give up,

time went fast,

life was passing her up,

blindsided feeling like she got hit by a truck.

Everything she does is unable to go right,

running out of options and quickly

losing sight,

a world of sleepless thoughts has

her up all night,

but deep down she knows she must

maintain the fight.

She's stuck, chained up, trying to

break loose,

and jump through the hoops to know

all of life's truths,

coming up short wishing she was

still in her youth,

all the blood sweat and tears,

she falls once again.

Throught the pain she still finds a way

to shine,

her ambition stands tall and she

keeps it in line.

She's staying true to her heart not

being a prisoner of time,

walking along her path,

taking it one day at a time.
