It’s in all of us

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Overwhelmed

I couldn’t feel less like myself
This pen feels heavy in my hand
The words just will not write themselves
And I can’t make you understand
I’m not ungrateful….Just insane
And I can’t make sense of these tears
I’m overwhelmed and over tired
And giving in to secret fears
I searched a lifetime, chased a wish
But never thought it would come true
Yet here it is, and I’m amazed
But kind of lost on what to do
Too many downdrafts on my wings
When all I want to do is soar
Now that I have all that I dreamed
How could I ever ask for more?
I want to unpack all this baggage
And walk away in just my skin
To just enjoy these fleeting moments
I never thought I would be in
Surreal

Always reaching for the stars
You miss the beauty on the ground
Always searching for the hidden
You lose what you’ve already found
I’m feeling lost in the transition
My world so altered and surreal
A haze of change in life and dreams
To finally see, to finally feel
Don’t get me wrong, I love this light
I wouldn’t change it for the world
A contrast frightening and amazing
Accepting all that has unfurled
I find it strange to realize
It’s hard to write without the pain
The words get lost inside the joy
I never thought I would obtain
More inspired than I’ve known
It’s taking time to readjust
Forming new words in my heart
While turning all the past to dust
