What will it take for me to break through,

This barrier I hide behind in the weakest of moments.

What will it take for me to let go,

Of the pain I surround myself in and the darkest that blinds me.

Strength is a virtue except when it’s an excuse,

For keeping out the ones I love and fighting my shadow.

What will it take to just breathe in the air around me,

And know that I have come this far it should all be mine.

What will it take for me to let go,

And bask in the sunshine that I feel all around me.

It is such a balance of strength and forgiveness,

To let go of the inhibitions

And set myself free.

Author's Note: not sure what that was all about. I'm not even in a grumpy mood
