Gentle and graceful moments of compassion for self, discovered through the journey of the walk we take within to heal what blocks us from our true nature...Love.
This poem was a reflection made in the midst of learning of and healing the restraints of codependency and finding worth through being, rather than people pleasing and seeking validation through external approval.
A Silent Calling from Within
I found this gift
that is all for me
but I had it wrapped so tightly
that I couldn't see
it was wrapped in false security.
This gift has been there all along
I just never knew I could feel as if I belong.
to whom I'm not sure
I had it all wrong.
This gift waited inside for me to find it one day
my hope is here now, it's come along way.
I see more clearly now than I have ever before
I now have strength to pick me up off the floor.
I no longer need anyone else's false hand
I see now I have two feet to stand.
The painful cries and the lingering lies
have helped me see through what I thought was my demise.
I now see what lies within,
My heart,
My soul,
My dearest friend.
I am learning to love me and
that is now my security.
I thought before the pain was ending me
until I began befriending me.
I hope I don't lose you again, my friend
For you are the mirror to what is real...My spirit within.
If I can't find you one day
Please whisper to feel
And I will seek balance to remember what's Real.
