Goodness gracious, Mikey and Arthur.. that was not my intent in the least bit... The thought behind the sentence is in italics..


The person you thought always had your back, doesn't.
My spouse left.

The person you inherently trusted, even if things were rocky, can't be.
I can't trust him anymore.

The person you thought you were changes.
Insecurity is replaced by hard earned confidence.

The armor you've worn, bulked up has changed.
As everything whirled out of control, I needed to be more protected.

With each step toward health, one more sheath is removed.
As I'm finding my footing, healing, I don't have to be as defensive.

The shine glows beneath the tarnish slowly polished off.
My inner beauty, peace emerges through all this chaos.

For better or worse, you choose your path.
I choose to be happy or sad in my life from this point on.

This isn't about the marriage or the divorce.. it's about me, you.. where we are now and where we choose to be in the future.

At least.. that's where I was going with this!
