A New Leaf

 I've decided to turn over a new leaf
to not hide back in the shadows like a lost sheep
to "grow some balls" as some may say
to speak up and say what I really have to say
to tell you what's on my mind
to no look away and hide behind
my fear of taking the lead
to use all my responsibilities to feed
my ever doubtful conscious
and boost up my self esteem without becoming nauseous
to prove to you that I really do care and see
baby, that's something that does not scare me
to give you that shoulder to lean on
and tell you that it's all going to be ok, and so on
to not get too "sappy" about how I feel
and to just express that I'm being real
and give you all the love you'll ever need
to fill that emptiness inside your soul and be
your one true mate
and you know it's not too late
because this is most definitely fate
