IT'S OK
~It's ok to cry as long as you remember to wipe away the tears to smile again.
~It's ok to stumble or even fall as long as you remember to brush yourself off and take another step forward again.
~It's ok to shut the door on the world as long as you remember to open the door to rejoin the world again. 
~It's ok to be silent as long as you remember to speak again. 
~But most of all, it's ok to shut your heart as long as you remember to love again. 
~~Ravyn

“You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always.”

Battered not broken

When words don’t match the actions, it is time to bail.

I was complete before you came into my life with meaningless promises of love.

That is why I can walk away.

I don’t share my love.

I don’t accept crumbs of affection.

Your loss not mine for I am whole before my LORD.

Your exit is my inauguration into the journey that the LORD has called me to walk.

I love you but I love myself more.

I want the sky, the stars, the moon, the sun, and

I want me to be loved the way that I should be loved.

There is no more I can do, well more like willing to do. I’m sorry, I have one life and so do you. Everybody in the world is going through something, the unfortunate reality is, some of us can handle it, some of us can’t. I’m determined to be one that can, which means sacrifice of everything. Casualties of war. Some will make it some won’t, just make sure if you don’t, it’s not because of another. Loyalty is always great if it doesn’t jeopardize the most important thing of all, your peace~~Darnell LeTimothy
