Being YOU

As you venture into your next cycle

Allow all that is to be all that is

Giving you the courage and strength

To accept that which is yours

To give away that which you have carried

And to release all that is not yours

When these three areas of your persona

Have been cleared

You will stand out

You will take off

You will be all that you hoped you could be

And you will love you for being you

For there is no other

That comes close to the comet

To the magnet

To the soul that you are

Walk in peace

For all else will follow

Radiance

Today I feel elated

Today I really feel my emotions

Today is my future

I’ve been waiting so long

For permission

Permission

To seek that which I know is my birthright

Not by heritage

But by being a child of God

I can truly say I allow myself this glory

As it washes over me

Seeping into my soul

Sharing with those that cross my path

Aye, I have come full circle

And now

I just bask in this radiance

Forsaken

Forsaken

When you forsake yourself

You are cheating the one who loves you

You are taking away all your love and glory

That you have to offer to you

For when you give love to yourself last

Or if you never give love to yourself ever

You loose

Your loose your faith

You loose your trust

You loose any hope of peace

Giving to yourself first and foremost

Is the simplest thing in the whole wide world

Yet we struggle to accept ourselves

With all our wonderments and faults

Take a deep look at yourself

Accepting your faults are your characteristics

Making you the unique person you are

Strong, challenging, ferocious, and meek
