waking

i show up

as my true self

i remember the story i wanted to hear

as a distant echo reverberating

into an ever receding past

i arm myself with self-awareness

and prepare to do battle

with lurking limiting beliefs

and skulking constraints

a well of emotions rises up from the underbrush

but i am ready

i command it to stop

with a swoosh of my weapons through the air

frozen

triggered by this global trauma

my life is on pause

within a blame-exclusion zone

while i remake it

i build my courage to cut though the veils of illusion

and i open my vast empty radiant heart

it will hold compassion

no matter what truth I see in my life

- self-honesty, self-acceptance
