My Last Leg

You only have two legs to stand on, and when one leg becomes weak you find a way to make it to where you need to go. For as long as you can stand the pain, you will limp. When the pain gets stronger you rely on crutches. You may not have an actual crutch, but as long as you can hold on to a wall, take a break between journeys, or hop through it, you will do just that as long as you can. At some point, you become weaker. You are tired of limping, taking breaks, and hopping. You finally realize that you need crutches. Crutches give you the idea that you can manage, despite your disability to function normally. You rely on them and all your weight is cast upon them........"The Crutches." You think reality is that you really can't walk a straight line on your own. In your mind reality is that you are on your last leg.....that you don't trust to hold you up.
This is the same for people, with the struggles of life, that have just had enough. You have been broken, traumatized, betrayed, and out done by pain. You try to make it on your own, until you begin to limp your way through struggles. You hold on to walls and hop your way through troubles until you are able to take a break......and find enough strength and courage to start your journey over again. But, every time you re-start your journey, the same pain is there and it's stronger. The strength you had before is even weaker, and the crutches that you developed in order to cope......are not only breaking the crutches, they are breaking you down completely. So what do you do? Do you continue to develop ways to pacify your inabilities? When one crutch breaks down in life, you go on a mission for a stronger crutch?
Has it ever dawned on you that you have a last leg. It's stronger than any crutch you want to use to walk the way you would like to walk! When life gets hard and you feel you have no ground to stand on, you have one last leg....That's you! It's not love, it's not alcohol, it's not drugs, it's not outside entities or gratification from anyone but yourself. The crutch that you needed to pacify your past is not strong enough to endure the weight of your present or your future.....unless you utilize the strength of YOU.
Me personally...I'm tired of crutches...the traumas and experiences in my life will not go away...no matter how I pacify them. I'm telling you my friends, that there is nothing you can do....there's nothing that "WE" can do to get stronger.....there's no crutch to make it better or magically hide the pain...The strength has to come from within.

"WE" just have to be strong enough to say I can stand on "MY LAST LEG."
