American Idle...

I have been trapped inside my own thoughts.. my own fears.. my own ideologies.. But it is now time to step from behind the shadows and face the world.. Inhale the fresh air that is slowly being pumped into the lungs of America.. The lights around me used to shine, but they have been dim for the past few years.. My future was on hold.. Partially because I placed it there.. The broken promises, lies and corruption took a toll.. And made me become a woman that I didn't recognize.. A woman that I don't ever want to see again.. I had become an American Idle.. Stalled and full of dissapointment.. My boat ran out of steam and I stopped believing in the world around me.. But more importanly, I stopped believing in MYSELF.. We have reached a dilemma.. And even during these difficult times, I can close my eyes and feel the CHANGE that is set to take place.. I know what HOPE is, by definition, but I have never felt it.. Now, I know what it looks like, sounds like and smells like.. Good things come to those that wait.. And we have waited eight long years and that GOOD thing (Barack Obama) has finally arrived...




Barack -- Thank you for giving me hope!
