Penny Dropped

Can you remember

that moment when

the penny dropped,

when you realised that

spiral of destruction

you were on could be stopped.

Was it on a bright summers day

or a dark winters night

that you decided that

this life was worth the fight.

Sick of looking over

your shoulder into the past,

instead you saw a future

you wanted to last.

Now you can finally

come out of hiding

to embrace a new life

where you do the deciding.
