Exposition

Take a breath,
Raise your head,
Cast off the past.
This is but the opening act,
There’s still a long way to go.

I know it seems difficult,
Life seems unfair,
You feel ill prepared, I know,
But square your shoulders,
Take the leap.
This is but the opening act,
There’s still a long way to go.

I know the past bogs you down,
Your mistakes seem huge,
I know those words hurt,
I know, darling, I really do.
But it’s alright.
Everything will be fine.
Just breathe.
Lift your head high.
This is but the opening act.
There’s still a long way to go.
