Strength

As this year began I felt as if I had no strength.

Sunday I began to feel as I did two months ago. I had my urge, my craving for control.
I didn't do it. I'm proud to say that I had the strength to stay away from what I thought would help.
I didn't do it. I haven't in almost two months, is it okay to be proud for something so little.
Most of the remains have disappeared. I look down and do not see disappointment any longer.
I no longer have to worry about wearing a tank top because I didn't do it.

I feel that I have found my strength again. I am strong. Much stronger than I thought I was.
No blade is more powerful than me. Control will never go beyond myself again.
With my strength I will turn negatives into positives. My strength will lead me, not the pity for myself.

My message : Be strong, everyone has the strength within them, it just takes time to find. I truly believe I've found mine.
