The Ride

I know as well as any asker
About the broken heart upon my sleeve
I know the balance between Freedom
& Trapped in Love I thought I'd need

Trapped becomes a Pain
At first, you cannot feel
Too late the distance from Salvation
Begins to seem Surreal

But you will claw a way out,
And extinguish your own fears
You are Strength in spite of Weakness
& you'll run out of tears

But Freedom....

Lets go of salty lashes
& hardens Revolution
Keeps the laughter loud
& leads down a road of Evolution

Heart stretched on Eagle's wings
& heal as it takes flight
Spit out the bitter Past
Then take a Bigger bite

Reinvent what Living Means
Making memories that stick
Don't be afraid to jump too far
Spread those wings a bit

Swim in deeper waters
& try not saying, "No"
It's amazing where "Yes" can take you
You just have to want to go

There is a Bittersweet chapter
In the middle of every story
You can rewrite unhappy endings
& take back your own Glory

Your Happiness can't be bought
& waiting won't help
You have to Steal it with you Destiny
By pickin up right where you fell

Then RUN....

Until every breath is Precious
& there's a meaning for every one
When nothing but Survival matters
That's when true Freedom comes

Step off the edge & take a chance
But never close your eyes
Keep em open, Trust me
You're gonna love The Ride

Another from 2013. It's been fun finding these old handwritten time capsules.
