In the midst of an inner conflict, what do you feel?
All of my fears are suddenly realized.
And if you were to give in to these fears, what would happen?
Completely defeated. Without hope.
Would you let this happen?
No. Why should I? I should spread my wings and learn how to fly. I should take control of my own self. I should tell my inner demons to go back to hell.
No one should be locked into holding onto the past.
But the past, the past? That's what's making this last. It's becoming impossible to let go of the past, when the past is affecting the present.
So many questions, so little answers. Who am I? What is my purpose here? Why are these things happening?
You worry to much on your past transgressions, when all that has happened cannot be changed. All that has come to pass was meant to happen, it has made you what you are--
--A failure. That's what it has made you.
This cannot be so. A failure? Not in his eyes. He who defines me is not you.
--He who defines you is not here.
You cannot restrain me any longer. You are already defeated.
--He who defines you has abandoned you.
This is not the truth. Do not listen to your negative feelings. Spread your wings and learn how to fly.
I will. I will spread my wings and learn how to fly.
