A Story To Tell Pt.2: A Step Forward
A setting in which I'm letting people in, to the part of my life that for so long I've been protecting Quite unsettling, but nothing in comparison to the secret I've been wrestling Scary, to see my enemy staring me right in my eyes- he's testing me A step that's necessary on the only path that can lead me to victory Victory over the unfairness in a fight in which my enemy knows all of my history And will use it against me, but with my new found awareness in his ability My enemy, no more will he be resting in his confidence to continue besting me My enemy- "he prowls around like a roaring lion," with a strategy- Simply seeking to turn my life into a tragedy But now with someone helping me, I'm no longer lost in the dark I can see now, that there's a way out No more am I throwing darts full of doubt What I'm writing about, here and now is a step forward A step towards, the future I need to pursue Instead of chasing pleasure in an infinite loop of Déjà Vu In warfare that's spiritual, my opponent is not of this world In a war that's unfair its important to- Find someone, to whom I can stay true Someone who's been through the same and together, To bear burdens with one another, and survive any weather The first step is always the hardest, but on the farthest of journeys- There's no question on whether or not it'll be necessary But one that's currently holding so many back, from something that's so much better Just a few steps in and with a story to tell I'm not looking back Believe me when I say, that my story is one to tell, and written so well within this victory letter
