THE ROAD AHEAD

"Sometimes you just have to take the next step and the path will appear." Author Unknown

She's done looking back.

Tired of questioning herself and dwelling on mistakes.

She's struggled, battled, and lost.

Fought for everything she ever wanted.

Traversed mountains and got lost in the valleys.

Circling without a compass.

She rises at dawn each day.

Seeking meaning with each sunrise.

No more excuses or apologies.

She's more than trauma she survived.

A warrior queen with a fiery spirit.

Fighting for her dreams.

Tuning pages to new chapters.

Seeking what really matters.

She doesn't have all the answers.

But her soul knows it must take the first step.

She's casting aside all excuses.

Leaning into her courage and faith.

She was forged in the fire that was meant to consume her.

Tempered by the knowledge she gained.

Striving to be a warrior.

Waiting for wisdom to open the cage.

She will charge forth with determination.

Knowing she was called by God.

Her objective is long overdue.

She won't waver in her convictions.

She'll lend her voice to the weak.

Stand with fierce resolve.

Screaming for change and justice.

The road ahead is uncertain.

Not everyone will understand.

But the light that shines before her,

will bring others through the darkness.

Regrets of the past shrink in her rearview mirror.

The future is all that matters.
