Self Portrait

A Toast



A bold artistic license
I hope to share myself
My thoughts race through my mind
Here’s to new ones on the shelf

I used to know my limitations
Had it all planned out
This side of me is clawing through
I need to know about

How can I describe
Spontaneous and free
My heart floating about
Running with the breeze

Here’s to mood swings, mixed emotions
And college straight ahead
Letting 18 soar
And the old me left in bed

To love, to lust, to lose it all
And pull it back again
To life going in my direction
Every now and then

Jumping in the fire
Letting my past burn
Here's to starting new
It's finally my turn
