Dancing

Changing old behaviors

Destructive behaviors

Ineffective or useless behaviors

Is hard

Harder than giving birth

Harder than giving in

Harder than giving up

I’ve done them all

But hard is not impossible

Hard takes work

Hard takes repeated attempts

Hard takes perseverance

And persistence

And banging your head into the wall

Kicking yourself in the ass

And forgiving yourself

When you have only yourself

To blame

You move two steps sideways

One step back

Three steps forwards

And another one back

Dancing your way

Towards a better you

Change is a beautiful thing

When it’s the kind of change

That lets you be more you

Lets you move on

Lets you heal the wounds

And discover the love

That’s been with you all along

So dance that dance

Revel in every step

The forwards

The backwards

And the turns in place

Just keep dancing

Your way
