Running from Myself

May my Higher Power stop me in my tracks if I am running away from myself. ~ Anonymous. A Day at a Time: Daily Reflections for Recovering People (Hazelden Meditations) (Kindle Location 2206). Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.

Do you scare yourself?
Are you afraid others will see you
and seeing you think you’re as worthless
as you believe yourself to be?
Are you appalled people will learn
your worst secrets, your deplorable deeds?
Are you running away from yourself?
Would you if you could?
Don’t run away from yourself.
To run is a false peace.
The only way is to stay
in the now, in the you, in the imperfection
Live. Reside in true peace.
Bring you with yourself.
Enjoy the day.
