I am on a survival mission. Fighting all of the fears, lone hours, and jumping those "hurdles" In this race to "beat the rougher odds," Winning the respect of others whom I look up too.. Earning a family of my own and Beating the Darkness' messages To bring myself down. To let myself go. To give up on love. To stop trusting other souls... As tempted as I have been to listen, my light in my heart is too strong to listen and act upon such "lies." Time does make one stronger. As well as it can Scar one's soul. Life is a balancing beam. As long as you weigh the load out right You shall never fall. You shall remain standing.
