"Outside the Line"

 

Daily...

We are presented with a choice...

To evolve or remain the same...

There comes this soft and gentle reminder

That not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry

Allow yourself to let it go...

Forget to remember the tainted passion of hate

Live life beyond that moment and into the next

It's our decision made...

Do you remain unchanged and settle for the same thing?

Stuck within a routine of storms and situations that never release you

Until you learn, even a little...

To break the circle of spinning...

Because that is the beginning...

One footstep forward beyond what holds you back

As you venture into the realization made

That you can connect with the strength within

By moving beyond the confines embracing you

This breath taken will lead you into the next...

You will awaken those things that have remained dormant

It becomes a state of mindfulness...

A safe place where our thoughts and actions merge together

As we decide to take them to heart, or let them go...

Because its the difficulty now known

So many of us are willing to extend a helping hand

But we are reluctant to reach out when we need it ourselves

How is it that we have divided the world?

“Those who offer help, and those who need help...”

When in reality, we are and can be both...

Its just that somewhere along the line we confused things

Because of necessity we built walls to keep others out

By protecting what was left within...

And we abandoned healing outside the line.
