Stop

You need to stop

You need to take a moment to stop in your tracks
Because time itself will not do the job for you
You need to take a deep breath
Reflect more than what your mirror can

You need to stop

To stop allowing your baggage to weigh down others who are also trying
Trying to hold their own as they hike over their own faults
Their own circumstances

You need that moment to recognize that every breath of pain that flows through you
Is capable of mending the wounds you bleed inside

So you should start

Start seeing your railway of scars as a guide
To the person you're destined to be
Every trip may not  lead to the same location
But it does lead somewhere anyway
Your failures don't mark the end of you,
They just leave a benchmark for a better trial
A better success
