TURN AND RUN

If I chose to turn and run, from what i have had a hand in creating,
I'd be lying to myself. I'm so out of my depth,
But I'm not trapped in this situation, no
I am not imprisoned by anything, I am free
To Turn and Run.

Bu t I choose to be here, tonight, tomorrow, yesterday, today and always,
I don't want to Turn and Run,
Out the door, out the process, out of something beautifully flawed yet so perfect.

T he world never said it'd be on our side,
It never promised to make it easy,
Never promised to make it okay when it feels otherwise,
But I promised myself, time and time again,
That I would finish all that I have put my hands on,
All that my heart has created,
All that I long for, deeply, desperately, wholly, completely.

Turn and Run, was never an option,
So I plant my foot hard on this ground,
Navigating is hard when it is all new,
I refuse to Turn and Run,
I believe this journey, has just begun.

So I'm strapping on my gloves, lacing up my boots,
Putting on my armour and getting ready to brace the waves,
The waves of possible impossibilities,
Non believers, non understanding, rejection,
The waves that say, "GIVE UP!" , the tides that leave me tired,
Breathless and unmotivated,
I am willing to fight and fight with all I have,
All I am, All I ever will be, All I have, here, today, now, tomorrow
And all the tomorrows after that, I am willing to refuse
To Turn and Run.
