So this is it.
Defeat permeates through the air
threatening your last breath,
but you stalemate in a battle of wits.
A series of choices brought you
to crossroad after crossroad.
After awhile you learn not to
be stuck on "if I had known."
When it comes down to it,
you realize after a time
that you are the silver lining
in the midst of cloudy days.
Pressure to give up haunts your nights
and always gets in the way.
But to be a force to be reckoned with
means always staying on top of it.
There is little reason to be soft
when on a savagely hard journey.
To see your true self come alive,
destroy your backup plans.
You are worthy.

How the Harvest Mouse Came to Suisun Bay
A long, long time ago there was a family of harvest mice. Mice are common, but these were unique – born to those who had lived in the salty, marshy bay for many generations, these mice ate and drank from the sea as well as the land and rivers. For generations, there were only the southern families, scattered along the marshes of Corte Madera and in the San Francisco Bay (U.S. Fish & Wildlife, 2013). One family, however, would undergo strife and conflict before reaching a whole new world. What became of them after is another tale entirely – but this is how their story begins.
