The Stranger Within
In the still of the night when everyone is asleep, your mind wonders. Eyes are unable to focus, and you are tired from all the racing thoughts. Feelings of inadequacy. The shame of your past that you cannot forget or forgive. The inner voice you hear-that loudly sounds in your ears-the tremors that remind you that there is someone within that you did not give permission to enter is wreaking havoc throughout your life. Drown out all the negativity, and give permission for positivity to reign supreme. It is not your fault that this stranger exists. You don't have to be in the fight to fight. But how sweet is the air we breathe-amazing.
