Initiate

You were right All along What you said That night The message was strong I'm on my own Trust no one Let no one in Hide what you've done Do whatever it takes Sit home alone Don't let your Defenses down Don't put down that wall Look how far You've come now But that only means Further to fall When you reach that ledge Don't hesitate Take a deep breath And communicate Take a step forward And initiate Now jump

Provocative write here, Tyffani ... although I would never tell anyone this kind of advice you've done a good job of tying it to wanting to leave the planet ... with friends like that who would want to stay ... LOL ... wonderful writing and a well-deserved selection to be a feature here at the Soup! Hope '09 is a great year for you!!
