Each day is a process...
A step taken...
In any direction...
Choices are made in an instant...
From moments that have built through time
The switch flicks...
From the senses that have failed...
We try to catch the unbelievable reason as to why
One day is everything, and the next, nothing...
It's when the realization hits
That the brilliance of our light cast, angers the demons in their darkness
We come to know the difference given
That our right of self-defense is different
Reason?
Because their pride says so...
And that is when the answer comes to view
The hard lesson of perspective...
Stop allowing people to show you twice, what they have already shown you once...
Our boundaries are about us
Not for cruelty, control, or to change people...
Its the line of respect drawn
And when it has been crossed with little or no care...
What do you change?
The line or the allowance of the act that has trespassed against us?
Our existence is more than this
We are not the reflection of anothers thoughts
Their view is not the mirror we should gauge our image upon
Take the time needed...
Look a little closer...
Stare a little longer...
There is a force and voice carried deep
We are the effort put forth
There is something inside of you that makes you keep trying
Despite everyone who tells you to quit
The broken can be healed and repaired
To move on from the past, and step into tomorrow
The proof is in the words of choice
And within this breath of survival taken.
