So, because of reasons, I'm going to be taking up the blogging again.  I'm terrible at remembering things like this, but maybe I need them?  We'll see.

Anyway, today's is simply something small and meaningful.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will take responsibility, not because I'm not to blame,
but because someone has to.

I will not blame them, not because they're not to blame,
but because I will most past it.

I will stand before the storm, not because I have to,
but because I choose not to hide.

I will move forward, not because I cannot go back,
but because it is the direction I choose.

I will stand in defiance, not because I am outmatched,
but because I refuse to be matched.

I will not sit in my darkness, not because I am afraid,
but because I choose to stand in the light.

I will move forward, into the dawn.
