Wisdoms I Am Learning

To find yourself, look no further than the universe folded within you.
In that vastness lays all that you potentially possess.
Wrap yourself in the beauty the splendor that is you.

I have known the pain of
loving another too much
while loving myself too little.
I have known grief so deep
I have wept tears copiously
my head pressed to the floor.
I have lived a moment,
that I am sad to say,
I would have gladly become one
with the floor beneath me
to be trod under the feet of others.
I have searched in vain
comparing myself others
attempting to discover
how I fit in the world.

Be courageous
Be brave
Be unrestrained in mining
the precious gems that lay within you.
Be no body’s darling
waiting prettily
to be seen
to be heard
to speak.
Rather be a force of light
dancing and singing
your heart’s longing to the world.
In this you will find love and respect.

To find yourself, look no further than the universe folded within you.
In that vastness lays all that you potentially possess.
Wrap yourself in the beauty, the splendor that is you.
