Split ends and manicures
hang nails and lipstick lines
Age creams and pedicures
mixed drinks and fresh cut limes
Pay checks and creditors
day drinks and pick up lines
Writing poetic words
to help me pass the time
Relax and let it go
it's fine, if you're not fine
Forget the dog and pony show
discover your, cloud nine
If you don't look out for you
then, tell me, who's gonna do it
Find joy in all you to
redesign you and recommit
It's absolutely ok
if you say you're not ok
it's your life, make YOU happy
don't settle for any-other way
We've gone to long, just hiding
I think it's time to shine
Let's do some over-riding
it's ok, yeah, we'll be fine

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
