This isn't your average day. This is the day above all days, when what you want happens. When those naysayers in the background drown out to the choir of hope lifting their awe inspiring sound to your soul. Can you hear that golden sun of possibility rising up inside of you?
It's been dark for so long, I know it. I've been living in here with all the cobwebs and bandaids. I know what's been going on. That demon of self disgrace and doubt has been hounding your heels like the rabid beast it is, trying to tear you apart as he winds his coils of smokey self doubt around your neck. Just as he's held you prisoner in this way every other day.
Just as he did that day so many years ago when your idea's were new and fresh and there was inspiration divine to carry you around. He stole that little sunshine from your life and told you there was no muse to enthrall you. And you believed him, that day your world became darker.
Then a few years later when that love you had loved turned to you and told you that -- well... no need to say it again. And your heartbroke with the shattering of millions of panes of glass as from a building so tall it would touch the sky and just to look towards the towering height you had to lie down. And that demon was there, he was holding the hammer over your heart. That day your world became darker still.
And just now you have felt the last rays of sunshine taken from your sky. There is no more warmth to wake you in the morning, to keep you sustained through the day. Is that ice on your face where the tear drop trails froze in place? Oh, but remember, always remember that I'm here inside of you. I'm not your hero. I'm not your angel or guide or anything other than your hope. And I'm not frozen yet. No matter what is done, or said, or taken away from you, I refuse to be drowned out and cast into darkness.
So this is your day, unlike all other days. You will pick yourself up from that cold earth and drag your feet one by one. You will fight for your heart and your soul and your mind, because that is all you have. And I will fight next to you, for you and with you. I am not quenched, I am not defeated. I live on forever and when the sun outside is hidden away, remember that I am here inside of you. Burning brighter than the sun ever could. Because I am a part of you.
