Step Back And Deal
23 June, 2006
Author: Megan

step back
away from the parties
away from the drugs
away from the friends
and away from the other casualties

step back
let reality sink in
let yourself feel emotions
let yourself cry
let a minute pass

step back
admit the truth
admit that you're in pain
admit that you're scared
admit that your mom is dying

step back
be conscious of this life
be aware of what is really happening
be a stronger person than you've been
be anything other than what you have been

Thanks so much for these words. A much needed wake-up call at a time when I definitely could use one.

Megan, so right! Step back and don't ignore the reality of the situation taking place. Right on, right on!
