Thank you for reminding me to always choose the harder right over the easier wrong, and that nothing is right if I have to change myself for it…and that sometimes, nothing but life really matters.

Even if it means wandering around Sampson Air Force base looking for white deer in our pajamas.

(P.S. To those who are wondering, I was able to take non-violent crisis prevention intervention, and passed with flying colors. Even exhausted and off meds, I did wonderfully.)

My right hand holds matches
My left holds my past
I hope the wind catches
And burns it down fast
I’m gonna step into the fire
With my failures and my shame
And wave goodbye to yesterday
As I dance among the flames So

Don’t try to save me now
Let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait ’til the smoke finally passes
And I will rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes

For all that I’m losing 
Much more will I gain
The hard part is choosing 
To change what needs changed
My step will be much lighter
With these demons off my chest
I’m born a better spirit
And lay the old to rest


I’ll walk away stronger
I will be flyin’ 
Higher and truer
Than I’ve flown before

My right hand holds matches
My left holds my past
I hope the wind catches
And burns it down fast
