Flight to freedom

In breaking, you realize how much you're made of;

In trying again, you learn to give it your life.

Risks are to be taken, in one way or another;

Hope ought to get stronger as pathways get narrower.

Will you remain distraught?

Will you give up because it's hard?

Or Will you fight the tears and simply aim to win?

Ordinary people, simple minds, delicate hearts;

They go on to achieve great feats- they do.

Do you have faith in you?

Maybe not. Why live in your body as you then?

Live with you, for you- you're amazing!

The slightest change can shake your foundation;

But even a rocking ship does come to a halt.

When you're embarrassed of yourself,

When being you feels like social suicide,

When trying desperately to erase your actions,

When nothing anyone says helps;

THINK.

I like sitting by myself at night to just reflect.

The beauty of the night, for me, being that I'm alone;

Alone with my thoughts, feelings and God.

I'm as unadulterated and pure as I can be.

Embarrassed of your existence??

Each day, you do several things.

Some of it is fabulous, some is good and some not.

Nobody really remembers any of it.

Only YOU keep the memory of it burning in your heart.

If it ups your self-esteem, great!

But if it embarrasses you, depresses you or drives you to the brink of suicide; something is amiss, don't you think??

Be Selfish

When it comes to YOU, demand the best there is.

Nobody is going to advocate justice FOR you.

God gave them themselves to look after.

Being whiny, you're helping no one.

The world will only mock and hurt you some more.
