'ownership'

A flicker of hope starting the flame of life again... Dangling on weathered ropes where a sudden rush of wind can send you to the ground clinging to the promise you never heard but somehow knew existed they always knew you would be stronger than this - they waited for you to step out and just believe to see your true potential with your own eyes and take ownership thereof --
