I found a new piece

Of myself that I did need.

No longer to my soul

Will my mind force to bleed.

I was caught up 

In feelings I did dwell.

And I was sad and afraid

And this you could tell.

I wanted so much

And I wanted it now.

And to deal with it

I did not know how.

But it is no longer

Sadness and pain

From my heart

Lifted, was strain.

If love comes

Then how wonderful it will be

And if it doesn't

I will still be happy.

To smart

To be caught up any longer

And to waste time

For a minute or hour, I will not ponder.

With open arms

I Will be accepting

But no longer

will myself be neglecting.

Nichole finally found herself again. It was like the clouds lifted from around her. She shone like the sun on a beautiful summer day. I am so happy that she found herself again before she was called home
