Why, oh why, do we hold ourselves back?
Why do we place ourselves
Under our own attack?
...Sabotage our inner beauty
With the sword of doubt
Of thinking that we are without
When we have only ever existed within...
As one beautiful whole.
Why, oh why, do we avert our eyes?
Why do we own so many masks
What exactly are we trying to disguise?
What we all feel, is real
...And the love inside only gets tired
When it's not free to smile
And look deeply into another's eyes...
Shamelessly.
And nameless is this fear
That keeps us swallowing the words
That only hearts can hear
...But wish to speak
And be heard in this physical realm
If only, to give each other strength
When egos make us weak and try to cut us down...
No more!
No more of this, no more!
Running from my core
No more running from my truth
Instead,
Let me string my life's sentences with pearls of meaning
Let me be fluid in life's flowing stream
Let me be conscious, while living out my dreams
Speaking without fear
And never looking away, for fear of being seen...
And in doing so
Let me be hurt a thousand times over
Smiling, as I dress my wounds with grace
For not having once looked over my shoulder
For staring life right in the face
For always having danced off the beaten track
For having fearlessly loved
And for not having once, held myself back.
