"Refuse Yesterday"

 

A corner turned...

Eyes forward...

Direction in never backwards...

The view becomes different when you allow yourself to choose

There is always another beginning after an end

Following the natural order of existence, life is given from the old

To see light, we must come from darkness

Power is achieved from knowledge

Refuse to let history dictate destiny

Our ability to learn from our experiences is the difference

It allows the course of change to take effect

And before the truth sets you free...

You must understand and realize which lie is holding you back as a hostage...

We abandon ourselves every time we say “yes” when we wished to say “no”

We always wait too long to make the choice, and it ends up choosing for us...

It's always the wonder that is questioned

How honesty can bring out the worst in others

Authenticity seems to provoke anger within closed minds

Because when there is proof of more, there are those who have to deem it less

All because their mind is stuck within a mental prison of fear

This is why they refuse to grow beyond yesterday

They cannot hear a difference without being offended

But different does not mean bad...

It just means not the same as another, and that is okay...

Normalize being original and true

We are everything and more than what is seen by another...

Surrender the heavy weight of those things not worthy of your strength

Have a new hope born...

Forgive yourself for things you did when you did not know better and when you were trying to survive

Realize how bravery can be masked as fear

Because destruction always seems to come with so much noise

While a seed will sprout and begin creation in silence

So maybe this is how we will heal from what quietly broke us.
