Journey to the center of my private universe
Tougher than many would believe it to be
Cheaper than booking a plane ticket to the Bahamas
Emotionally draining in dealing with things that go bump in the night
Imaginary monsters that cause Rocky to crumble in fright
Therapy for the mind, body and soul
Not as cliché as many made it out to be
Truly about confronting the triggers that plague you
While finding out that you're more worthy of happiness
Than you or other questionable characters deemed it so
Had a few rough days of finding a happy medium in daily life
Hard to stay calm or above sea level on a regular basis
Started off the morning on top of the world like James Cagney
Only be face down in a water fountain via 1983's Scarface
Name dropping pop culture references a coping mechanism
For potential or self-manufactured inadequacies plaguing my thoughts
Wondered what it would be like to be insecurity free
Not have to worry about pleasing or offending people
Causing controversy left and right, while not giving a hoot about it
A modern day Madonna type without the attention grabbing tendencies
Enough attention deflecting right now; time to get to the truth of the matter
Difference between fact and salacious rumors wished to be fantasies
Getting to pack a bag or two for a voyage of a lifetime
This trip is more therapeutic than anything else
Organizing what's important and what can be discarded
Maintaining healthy meaningful relationships
Disposing the ones who do nothing but cut you down to size
You know the ones.
The kids who run around with scissors cutting holes in every parade float
Ones who want to rain on everyone else's happiness carnival just because
Time to eradicate those individuals from your phone contacts
Unfriend them on all social media websites
Stick with the people who love and support you for who you are
Not to sound like a greeting card, but accurate nonetheless
Ready for a new year with new opportunities to be happy for a change.
