Clarity

I have been blinded by selfish ideals
I've always thought the world needed change
But I realize now that I am the one who must change
I must be strong and full of heart
Nothing will stop me once I've reached where I need to be
And no one can teach me that but myself
I must learn and I must live on my own
The road will be harsh and at times everything will seem worthless
but i must persevere, I must strive
Today, marks a new beginning in my life and my life alone
Today, I see things in a new light.
