why did i take so long to get here?

why did it take me so long to get here?

so often i am wondering why

why i have waited so long to take charge?

i have dreamt so many great things for myself

but that never seemed like a good enough reason

i suppose i thought i would do it eventually

or was afraid i would not have success

i might have chosen something else

knowing i am a person who could be happy there too

never have i given myself enough credit

for the things that i do well

so why not accept that i might be great

or that i can live the life in those dreams

its a waste to look back if you never look forward

and a waste to look forward if you never look back

so im claiming my life, its become my dream

why did it take me so long to get here?
