Adaptability

Adaptable
As I never thought I’d be
Broken heart
Broken trust
Broken faith in me
Have changed the reflection I see

Maybe mostly healed now
But never again, yet more than before
I am now free and unfree

I’ve learned to fight for my choice
For my chance to be happy
But it stemmed from pain
And is tainted by what you left me
Yet I can’t blame you
It’s always been up to me

Is it good or bad
Right or wrong 
The changes wrought inside
Behind these new seeing eyes
Stronger, liberated, voicing my mind
Confident and cool as a brisk sigh
Yet more distant and guarded
Sweetness of heart denied

Like a calm between storms
The feel of swelling potential energy
I realize I am new again
And many times more will be
Stories change
Storms rage 
And new life always comes to meet new age
