every day i try a little harder, more diligently, to pick up the broken pieces of yesterday.....
no one bothered to tell my that my hands are not skilled enough to reach into the past to change today.... no one bothered to tell me that those mistaken pieces slip past the lint, out of my pockets.... following me... leaving a distinct path for those hurts and fears to sneak into and overwhelm my todays.... the one thing i do remember about that trail... is i have to stop in order for them to catch me, jump me, stop me..... i may be weary... i may be slow... but i'm moving on....... for how long? don't know... but i'm not stopping today.


in case you needed it.......



always stay one step ahead.....
