Choices

I struggle on helpless and alone, though I know

I am neither

you are with me in every step

holding me up

I’m believing lies

I don’t know where they’re rooted.

I don’t yet feel ready to face them,

Yet I know you want me to.

Only with you can I do it.

I’ve tasted the freedom you offer.

I long to get it back.

I must put in my own sweat to get there

you are the guide.

But you cannot take steps for me.

I must move myself forward.
