New Voice

prove

the moment i reached my goal
was the moment i decided to quit.
to me, the point was proving to myself i could do it
and when i did,
i left it all.
it was time to do
the things i actually wanted
not the things
that are difficult
and out of reach.
i wasted so much time
proving to myself and others
what i was capable of doing
instead of just
doing the things that made me happy.
that ends today.
from now on, my goal is
making myself smile on the inside.
