Trying To Be Brave

I'm trying to change for the better I'm trying so hard to be brave I'm trying to fix these habits That will put me in an early grave I've struggled for years and years I've grown to hate the word "try" Because each time I've used it It always felt like a lie But I haven't given up yet Even though I've tried and failed I guess I've succeeded at something Because my resolve prevailed Some people think it's so easy But it's easier said then done When motivation is fleeting And I'm trapped in an endless rerun But I'm going to be brave I'm taking one day at a time I'm taking baby steps Toward this uphill climb

The act of falling down and getting back up is a victory all in itself :)

LOL, yeah, thanks, every victory counts, no matter how small it may seem in ones own head (or more specifically, mine!). Thank you for the comment!
