Until I can stand on my feet, <br />And declare I've defeated insecurities <br />That drove me to crawl on my knees, <br />In search of myself... <br />Shall I believe, <br />Any steps I take from that moment on <br />Are mine! <br />And you are no longer an obstacle, <br />Observed... <br />Or viewed as blocking my path! <br />I can then walk knowing, <br />I can move around you! <br />And leave you behind without concern, <br />Of how far I've traveled beyond the distrust <br />I had of my own ability to move forward, <br />With faith and satisfaction.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
