Losing Convictions

Facing My Demons

By Mickey LongmirePublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Too headstrong to act like I need anyone

I can't find the courage to let someone help me

These days I'm lonely, but in many ways, I find it comforting

My life goes on without me

It takes courage to let others in

bravery

is needed to accept that my success

is dependent on something more than my own stubbornness

pain can't be avoided,

a fact of life

that lesson I have been taught more than

once

or twice

losses too painful to bear

but I've done it before

and starting today

I'm striving to get myself back

suitcase,

packed

no longer running away from my problems,

finally facing the task at hand
