they run through my veins. my past experiences, the times i've fallen and the times i've stood up. they run through my veins. my dreams, the answers to my purpose, to my identity, to my beliefs. they run through my veins. the people who have hurt me, the one's that i've forgiven and those that have forgiven me. they run through my veins. every tear and every smile. every glimpse of a second that has made me stronger, and brighter. everything i am, is because they run through my veins. the letters that spell out redemption.
