"Brave" by Jennifer Cosby

Yesterday, I found one small shred of will power held captive in my back pocket.It was whittled down to an unrecognizable pill, that I swallowed and let run its course through my system.Like Alice, my confidence grew.Thoughts, once cloudy, began to shine through.Mending what I believed to be broken.You can stand tall without armor,but wars cannot be won without backbones.You are the only one who has to fight–for you.All your energy spent with the wrong obsession brought you to the right place.At the right time.Trust in the redirection.Break ties with your trepidation.Walk forward expectantly.Your heart is an adaptable muscle.Strengthen it, accordingly.
