The slap in the face I needed...

The days of searching have come to an end
Abrupt and unforgiving but I'll never go back
I've found the happiness that I've forever craved
Who I am, uncovered because of help from a friend

The slap in the face that I needed, finally delivered
The kind advice to never settle for less than my best
To be me and only me, nobody else
I know now to always be myself,
and everything will work out fine

Life seems so easy now, so happily filled with bliss
Success is hidden around every corner
Love made so much easier
I don't hesitate, I don't dread, I don't anticipate, I live

Jealousy is now a far off memory
Dispersed among those less fortunate
Every hour of my life is lived as if it were my last
I'm no longer afraid to be bold, daring

I show everyone how much they mean to me
I seize every opportunity, every window
To make my life the best that it can be
Because from here on in, I'm me and only me
