Will

January 19, 2016

and when it feels like there's nothing worse that could happen to me

feels like they're tipping on their toes to get me

there's that little voice,

that little voice from the backside of my mind.

and he says:

"hey now settle down just remember

not to worry about the swirl

not to worry about the shadows.

you've come so far, through the pain and through the hurdles

there's nothing that can bring you down, nothing that can kill you now.

keep going, keep your eyes on the prize

and i'll always be here to guide you"

and just like that my vision flares up with fire

fire of determination, fire to be stronger.

they can throw everything at me

i look weak enough

but strength isn't everything,

Will is everything.
