What if being you
is good enough?
What if you are actually that
smart
funny
caring
creative
organised
warm?
What if you permit yourself
to be enough?
What if you are even more than enough?
What if you belief you are actually worth it?
What could you achieve if you would believe all of this?
‘But it’s raining.’
You say.
But could I sway;
You to see that the sun is always shining behind the clouds?
‘But it’s cold.’
You say.
But could I sway;
You to understand that exposure will strengthen your spirit?
‘But it’s a bother.’
You say.
But could I sway;
You to learn that you won’t grow in your comfort zone?
‘But it’s not fair.’
You say.
But could I sway;
You to let go of self-victimization and not hide behind excuses?
‘But I am so angry.’
You say.
But could I sway;
You not to feed that wolf but nourish your soul?
Could I sway you,
Just a little bit,
To change your perspective,
For your own healing?
Be the light
You need in a dark hour
Bearing light
Is a relay race
Carry the torch
Pass it on
Ignite
So that there will
always be someone to hold it
I want to draw pictures with my words
I want to paint your world in colours you cannot see
I want to sing a song that speaks to your soul
I want to show you that there is beauty
There is hope
There is love
There is a tomorrow
There is worth in living
That you are worth it
That you belong
That you have a place
That you are connected
That you are strong
You won’t know
What the future holds
How hopes and dreams
And fears unfold
Be brave take small steps
Or leap with bravado
Whichever way you go
This will be the right way for you
There is no wrong path
No expected timeline
All that matters
Is that you keep moving
My heart sinks
My mind shrinks
Away from your abuse
My feet plant
Into the ground
I stand tall
Within myself
I reaffirm my place
Within
Outwith
So you will never reach
Through
To me
Again
Mesmerized
Merciful
Beauty in being
And where love is, there is light
And where light is, there is healing
Warmth
Wonder
Bathed in love
Be whoever you want to
Be whatever you take hold of
In your heart
In your soul
In your mind
Just hold onto
Do a cartwheel
Dance around the house
Bake a cake
Snuggle your cat
Run 10k
Read a book
Punch a bag
Hike up a mountain
Draw a picture
Eat some chocolate
Live mercifully
Be mesmerized
See the beauty
Be warm
See the wonders
Love yourself
Relentlessly optimistic
Relentlessly happy
Give into your sadness with all your being
And let it run, run, down the river
Give into your joy with all your heart
Let your inner child embrace life again
Give into your anger with all your might
Let it rage until your knuckles bleed
Give into your love with all your Self
Let it grow, grow until it leaps onto others
Be relentless
In living this life of yours
Just one rule
Don’t destroy anyone else on the way
