"Room For Humanity"

One way or another

It's gonna make its presence known

Experiences within life bring us here

There is a sentimental value given to those things lost

Despite my reservations

This is my conscience clear

Far too many moments kept me

Footsteps forward held tightly

To those things the heart did not want to give up

I waited upon time to do what it does best

Heal...

Peace was found within the abandonment

I settled the confusion

The bargaining between every “I'm sorry”

And letting every strike against me out weigh the shadows growing

The allowance was total and all consuming

The debt was daily life...

Boundaries were trespassed upon

Until memories confined each and every thought

You were the best of me, until you became the worst...

We once walked together

Building life within living

Blinded by giving...

I became the stepping stone on your way to be a better you

And never did you attempt to save that which you left behind

My admission was my ownership taken...

Casting out that which did not serve me well

It was my proclamation to all that once held me still

It was letting the sunshine back in...

Gray clouds cleared from to many dark days counted

Clarity has been found within each day and month passed

All echoes of you have faded out

Comfortable am I again with the silence speaking

This is my well being

My effort given forth

Existence is a verb

And I am motion forward.
