One Step At A Time Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Challenged.
To face my own insecurities.
And see them for what they are.

Challenged I am with brutal honesty.
With the intent to pick them apart.
I am ready to breathe freely.

Challenged...
Yes!
But today I am not defensive.
Or offended by the time I have taken,
To get to this point in my life.
With habits I will address next.
But for now...
I am satisfied,
To be able to take one step at a time.
This life is mine.
And I am finally fine with it!
