i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

what would you pick?

would you walk away from your dreams, to save yourself from the pain...

or would it be worth it to shine for a while

then burn out like a flame.

what would you do if you had to choose between the two most important people to you

and your decision meant losing the other forever?

what if a bright future meant leaving a comfortable past..

what if stepping out today meant leaving yesterday behind..

would you hold on

or would you let go.

life is crammed with inevitables... a choice with each minute.

and each choice changes the path we walk - our future.

how do you know which choice is the best one..

i guess that can become a point for worry,

but in retrospect,

if you're shaped by your choices,

then looking back your choice may not have been the best,

but it becomes a stone cut into your path,

the path of the past

and in a way,

it was the best one

because it got you to where you are today.

i think i've been self-doubting...

confidence is such a beautiful thing,

and its something i've only ever semi-possessed.

how do i embrace myself completely

without being a bitch.

the line between confidence and pride is a thin one.

and then again, where is the humility.

fake humility is a putoff,

but how do i make it genuine.

it has been a point of prayer for a few years..

and it still is.

and i still don't quite know the answer,

but for now i'm throwing myself out there.

and i hope that there are a group of people who understand

who will catch me if i fall.

and that i won't ever bypass a decision i make

without taking a lesson out from it.
