stopping out on the way home

Try to explain to someone you've known your whole life- you're fine now. Try to explain to someone who has loved you since high school that you're not the same disillusioned rebellious fuck up that you were ten years ago. That is easy. Try to explain that you're walking the fine line between failure and success... Try to explain that you have new friends now; therefore a new identity. that someone worthy of your respect actually respects you. Then try to explain to yourself the vast difference between that which holds you hostage and that which frees you . Therein lies the closest variation of the truth.
