Take the time to just breathe |
Just For Today Just for today, I will show the world my vulnerability, and the oceans of tears behind my smiles. Just for today, I will publically acknowledge the depths of my grief, and allow myself to feel the razor sharp sting of regret for things lost. Just for today, I will lower my carefully guarded defenses, and admit to not having all of the answers I seek. Just for today, I will recognize my need for human compassion, companionship, and understanding, while the world I inhabit crumbles around me. Just for today, I will give myself permission to cry and rail, and grieve and mourn for everything I have wanted and everything I have lost. But only just for today. For the sun will rise again tomorrow, bringing with it a new dawn and a new opportunity to set things right within my own personal universe. For above all else, I am a survivor. I am as strong as I choose to be. I am as weak as I allow others to make me. But, Just for today, I will do nothing more than be still, and try to remember to simply breathe..... BY: Kimberly D.
