Define Yourself

What is your prison? Is it loneliness, silence or just fear. Do you dare venture from darkness into sunlight? Are you content to lurk in the shadows? You are your own warden. You hold the key to unlock your cell. Don't look for others to create your world. Don't let others define you, define yourself. Start living today and tomorrow will speak for itself. 12/27/18
