renegade

my name is Katie, but you can call me renegade
by definition, betraying principles is kind of my thing. 
I'm so real I'm fake
I'm the snake in the grass, biting your ankles as you walk past me
feel the sting? it'll fade soon enough, sorry kid. life is tough 
but you have to choose to be tougher, beat the very thing that is beating you. it's okay to let your light shine through. 
this too shall pass. the path to being "okay again" will be rough and bumpy 
but you will make it through. I promise. 
there is something bigger hiding inside of you, your ribcage contains the power to save, and I can see it 
please believe it, I need you to let me in. 
open up the doors and tear down the walls, eventually it will all fall into place. 
you see, recovery isn't a race, set a comfortable pace and you will succeed. 
soon enough you will achieve the peace you have been dreaming of
and it will be sweet. you will soon be feasting on victory and you will taste the triumph in every bite. 
please don't get things confused.
it's just been a bad day and 
it's just been a hard night
fight to see the light at the end of the tunnel because damn, 
this is a spectacularly beautiful life.
