Try and Catch Me

The past forty years of my life have been spent in slavery. A slave to fear, to abuse and to being so comfortable with doing or feeling bad that the small preview of what better feels like I managed to self sabotage. I've watched some very important people in my life battle some very heavy and dangerous demons. I knew them then in the height of there pain with no hope for a safe release and I admire them know on the other side of there vice, living free. If they had not believed that all they needed was that first day of strength. If for some reason they had given up because they were too old or had done it this way for so long. If they did not believe in change, then they might not have taken the chance to live the rest of their life right for them. I'm learning that its easier for people to talk about where you've been without knowing where you're going. In all actuality its because they have no reason to believe in your change. Now I understand why power and hope begin within, if you are waiting to convince the cheerleading squad that you can score that touchdown, you never leave the sideline. You must get on the field and show them what you're working with. With the wind beneath your feet nothing can stop you from moving forward and the past can't catch you.
