Inner Demons

One chance . . .
To take and not speculate.
To fight for and not regulate.
just let go . . .
Without any inhibitions and see how far it'll take for you to get a chance to finally, not only see and believe, but to also breathe.

With every break,
tear,
and crack,
Follows strength.
A strength to toughen the skin you speak of,
with each scarring reminder,
an immeasurable courage it takes to face these inner demons.
The audacity to make it through -
where that ferocious, yet honorable determination supersedes it all.

As you walk on that rough road, with you are other fearless souls along with you. Things are not so desolate. Redemption does not correlate. . . with those that carry the responsibility of many. The end of the road must not be reached alone. For if it was at the bottom or the top, the battle, whether shared or internal, molds us. Breathe easy.

With those of the same passionate mentality, awake but in a dreamy state, we will break down those walls and make our own doors - instead of looking through the window, hoping or imploring for more, we just fight for, simply for the sake of our own. Why? Because we only got one . . .
