the difference.

Where were you?

Lost, but in that time I grew. 

I’ve hurt, I’ve bruised, I’ve taken so much abuse…

But in that time…

I’ve figured out what I needed to do

In order to be new. 

I needed to lose. 

to fail exponentially. 

to not live life apprehensively. 

I needed to lose 

But I found beauty along the way

So now I understand 

and I continue to pray… 

God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change

Courage to change the things I can. 

And the wisdom to know the difference. 

I now know the difference.
