I am packing up the remainders of my broken soul.
I am going to renovate, make new what was perviously destroyed.
I have boxes and boxes all over the floor of my soul.
One for the things I cannot repair, that must be discarded.
One for the broken dreams, that will be sent off for repair.
One for the lost dreams that I must go out and find again.
One for the person I was, for she is no more.
One for my thoughts, to be sorted out with all the rest of these things.
Three for my feelings; one for broken, one for damaged, and one for those I know I'll never need again.

This project is a tedious one, but I must not falter.
In the end will be a better me, one that I can share.
One that need not be hidden away in order to save her.
I am a survivor and I know how to repair these damaged pieces of my soul.
but fear is my greatest enemy, for I've forgotten what it is to be free.
Now this is MY time, no one above me, shouting orders on who I should be.
I finally get to decide, so let's make this count, self, make it shine.
I have always loved moving day; like a clean slate, you are allowed re-definition.
You just have to choose your spaces carefully, remember that.
So that you define what you truely are, and not what others expect.
Cause fuck those people, they have not suffered what has made me, me.
Like I said Moving day is always refreshing, in the freedom of a new space; a new you.
