Fortitude
choosing the hard path
taking the road less traveled
climbing the steepest hill
i've always accepted the hardest challenges
no worthiness meant no quarter or mercy
yet now i'm unwilling to submit any longer
stalemate of self-punishment versus confidence
unstoppable force sidesteps the immovable object
and continues hurdling towards inevitable change
24 years of second guessing boiled down to one decision
trusting myself to passionately express my truth
unfazed by subconscious sabotage or disbelief
the future, stability and comfort be damned
if you build it they will come
i have spoken
