"Only By Us"

 


Strange, isn't it?

As much as we know ourselves...

We still grant another being full access to our inner core

And we will crumble to pieces every time...

Especially when careless words fall from their lips

Even though they have never lived a second of our life they have spoken of

We listen...

But reality always shows truth

People can't give what they don't have themselves

Reflection is always looking back

Through the remnants of so many moments

The past is now behind us

We are not what use to be

Because healing comes in waves

Like the changing of tides of the seasons

Each layer is a new discovery

Emotions that resurface through the stages of life

We are not defined by the darkness of trauma

Only by our choice to react to it

Survival is light seen

Breathing amongst the footsteps taken

Even when the embrace that holds us exceeds our conscious of understanding

It's what we give and take...

Pain is always the price we pay for growth

That is why we refer to it as growing pains

Exhale yesterday...

Tomorrow calls your name

Acceptance is the realization in learning

That it only ever should be you against you

Fighting for yourself...

By focusing on your own inner voice

Because it's the only one that matters.
