Hole vs Whole

Hole vs Whole
By Sarah Hafermann
Written May 2010

Lost in the moment, lost in the tide,
lost everything when I ran away to hide.
So afraid to love, so afraid to feel,
so afraid of something that might be real.

Opened my eyes, opened my heart,
told myself I needed a new start.
I took risks, some that many question,
some that I took from others suggestion.

Started to laugh, started to smile,
started to want to go that extra mile.
Change started to occur inside and out,
changes that some didn't expect to come about.

Now I'm a whole person once again,
not afraid to make new a friend.
