today someone challengend me to be real
today someone infused me with a little bit of courage
today i was reminded me of the wide space of freedom there is in peeling back the layers
because the layers can become a personal jail cell
today someone challenged me to be real
and stop hiding behind metaphors and words and symbols,
to stop hiding behind who i think i should be or who i think i am
today someone gave me a craving for transparency
today someone reminded me that the beauty is in the journey
today someone gave me words for my pain and a prayer for my lips
today
