My life could be so depressing but I’ve made a determined decision to make sure hat when I feel like something can wrap its clammy claws around my ankle and drag me to the depths I rip my foot out of its hold and take another step. Especially when I have someone else counting on me.
Someone I need to excel in life for to give them hope they do not have elsewhere. An honesty they cannot find without me. It could be considered a trap in life but I will not view it that way as this creature, my own blood and bones needs me. Has protected me and admired me. I cannot fail him. Nor should I fail myself. He is the constant reminder that I am not a failure and that no matter how many waves of disappointment and destruction try wash over me I will keep my grip and I will not let go.
