doing is growing

it's hard doing the right thing,

in fear of the consequences that might follow. 

it's hard realizing that what's best for you,

may not necessarily be what you want. 

it's hard acknowledging,

that you've been hurt and you've never gotten better.

it's hard finding something, anything,

that will make you feel like you're okay.

it's hard asking for help,

from people who continue to hurt you.

it's hard fighting to regain,

your sense of moral direction.

but hard isn't too hard

and now i know.
