New seam

So many thoughts in my mind
Life can be kind
I see so much I can now do
Endless possibilities this is true
Thinking I had no tomorrows 
Yes wishing for that land of no sorrows
Did not want to even try
Why
You kept saying I will die 
Yet I am still here
I feel no fear
My life has been long
I stand strong 
You were wrong
Now life offers me a tomorrow 
Life was not mine but just to borrow 
I can maybe now have a dream
My chest has a new seam
A chance at many a new day
As I make my way
What to do, what to do
To me I must be true 
Reach for my star
It cannot be that far
Stepping above so much
Life's lessons what have they taught
I thought 
 Of dreams never to come true
One dream made it through 
The dream of a tomorrow 
Life is not mine to beg or borrow 
But mine to live
Of my soul, to give
Another day to dream
Thanks to this new chest seam
Cut down the middle
Solving lifes little riddle 
What's on the other side
I place I never have to hide
It is a chance at today
Tomorrow 
Is now my land of no sorrow
Where dreams can come true
A chance so new
It is where hope always grew
No fear 
No tear
Life is now mine
Up to me to make my star shine 
I have the strength 
I will go the length 
The challenge I accept 
Through pain I slept  
Wept
I have been through a lot
My will to live burns hot
My new seam
Gives me a chance to dream
How far will I go
I will never know
Unless I try
A happy tear to cry
