Self Reliance

There will be times 

When you will cling

To that one thing

In the midst of chaos

That seems so secure,

And there will be times

That you leave

Because staying

Is killing you.

And, in reflection,

The impetus behind

Both of these actions

Will seem so clear

While in the moment

It was all so murky,

And you WILL reach out

To ANY light on the horizon

Until you learn

To hang a light,

By your own front door.
