A Struggle Within
Your heart wants you to listen.
Sometimes it feels like there’s a constant haze surrounding me.
Like something is blurring my vision.
Or someone.
A soft whisper behind me urges me to turn back.
“Don’t trust what you can’t see.”
“I’m the only one you can believe.”
“Just stay here.”
Maybe they’re right.
I should stay with them.
Right?
The haze starts to clear as I begin to turn around.
My body stops.
“You know this isn’t right.”
“They’re trying to trap you.”
My heart starts to ache begging me to listen.
A warm light caresses my skin.
The familiar haze wraps its arms around me.
“Don’t leave me.”
These words dig into my soul.
But…
I’m done.
I won’t let you control me anymore.
My life is my own.
I’m sorry.

A Date With Destiny
It all started back in September of 2020. As I'm sure some of you know that year wasn't the best for everyone. It certainly was easy for me and I was praying things would get better. I'd like to think I wasn't the only person wanting something to help deal with life.
