"Ours To Own"

 

There is always a list...

Of days and numbers counted...

Where secrets hide...

And words try to begin...

The end remains incomplete...

Because the beginning has yet to be

Questions wonder...

Answers wish to speak

It's the hard decision made

Between what is right and what is easy

Truth is real...

And it does hurt..

But honesty is the best action told

The fact that a being keeps silent...

Does not necessarily mean they have nothing to say...

This is the place where we hide our loudest words

Waiting and learning...

Acknowledging the lessons learned by experience

We all contain a warrior within

Some waiting at rest...

While others are just ready to stand up and begin...

Advocate for the soul of well being

Fight for the right to put your welfare first

A bad moment or day is never an excuse to use cruelty

The harshest of words that are intended to inflict pain, always leave scars upon the soul

So at the end of it all...

After reasons and excuses are made...

Refuse to allow darkness to manipulate your vision into creating a distorted ideal given

We are the keeper of the light within...

Regardless if you listen or not..

The view of us created by another, is not our responsibility

We can't hate ourselves into a version of us we can love...

That control and ability is ours to own

All in a world that is better...

Because you are in it.
