"Hold Our Own"

 

It's a moment in understanding...

This realization is made clear

That we can be both the cage, as well as the key to release us...

We are built daily from our every triumph and even from every mistake we have made

We are the living proof...

Just like the sun rising up over the horizon everyday

These moments hold us...

Reminding us to be patient with ourselves

To hold our own...

There is always a new day to begin again

Kindness is not an act

It is a reflection of our inner self

And it takes a deep amount of courage to walk away from something that no longer serves you well

To allow that final release takes bravery...

Faith is having hope within courage

Change is existence...

We are the history written

And all that has yet to be

There is only so much one being can do

We can adapt and we can grow

The learning curve we travel can bend its limits

And we can break...

There will always be the extreme within balance

Joy and grief...

Love and hate...

We just have to remember that we are not the darkness cast upon us

Nor do we have to oblige it with the power that will forever remain ours

Our attention...

Because what is said, and not meant...

And what is meant, and not said...

Will always be the difference between what is kept and what is lost.
