It’s not too late to turn around –
the voice that says you’ve come too far
along this path, you’ve made your choice,
there is no turning back –
that voice is not your own,
and it’s not true

It’s not too late to change your mind,
change it completely, change the way it thinks –
you are not bound to have the same reactions,
however many times
you have before

It’s not too late,
for you are just beginning, really.
We all are very young, very new
at this art of being –
we have eternity in which to learn.
