Over time

I started to believe in myself because even though others cheered me on, the light they lit in me was only temporary.

For I would sabotage that light every day with my regrets and discouragement, for I felt weak to go on and learn so much more in this life.

But I realized I am only as strong as I allow myself to be and that God can get me to the finish line.

I have to believe and trust that the path I am on is for me, and once I am on It, there is no turning back.

And so I say a prayer and embrace the cold of the morning and the night and hope I will continue to allow you in and for me to overtime trust your word.

For I know when I center my life around you, there is peace and calmness in my life, and my worries are no more as whatever happens is the situation for that day and if I accept the unexpected.

Then the day’s outcome will be more, the path will start to change, and things will become clearer for me and those around me.
