My Standard

No more I said, no more!

Over and over, through door after door

Here I stand with my life thrown to the floor

Did I deserve the punishment and pain

The sense of loss after being knocked down again and again

Today my path starts over

No more hanging my heart upon a four leaf clover

My eyes are fixed and my mind is locked

My vision is blinded to my past as I clearly see a fresh new start

There are strength in numbers I was always told

My mind, heart mind and will now work in unison to banish the old

Youthful choices compared to the maturity of the old

Both can be taught a lesson from the stories Mr. life unfolds

Put to the test I was and more they will come

Remember them I will as I rebuild relationships one by one

My standard is set and my heart is secured

I will not be another victim so easily lured

Step aside now and let me pass

Straight to the new life waiting for me the die is cast!
