Face The Flames (With You)

I have never considered myself a trapeze artist.
The trick would be if I had the balance, to begin with.
My muscles all in knots and weak from Cerebral Palsy.

One of the new battles I am dealing with, are the “growing pains” that Cerebral Palsy brings with age.
Then all of a sudden, with a flicker of a match no one saw coming, we were facing the flames with a fight in our hearts.
A flood out with the tears we were shedding.
My heart has found comfort in my boyfriend’s presence during the flood.
Even with miles between us, he took on the role of a constant light that never went out.

I have realized that there is always more to life, and the people who love you and face the flames with you.
