Ruminations

If your experiences have not taught you to be strong

If your understandings have not shown you where you belong

Sit back and take a breather

That emotional baggage is a tether

Reopen the wounds even if they hurt to find out what is wrong

 

Move on from the mistakes yet remember the lessons

You become what you believe don’t give up on the passions

Flowers are fragile so is dynamite

That power is inside you to put up a good fight

Travel far enough to meet yourself even if the journey is unpleasant

 

Live without pretending and love without depending

Listen without defending and speak without offending

There is this much you can do

Then it is beyond you

Dawn is an unbroken promise even if the night seems unending

 

Don’t let the pain make you hate or your sensibilities sway

Don’t let the bitterness steal your sweetness away

Your smile is your logo

Your rage is your foe

Sometimes you must learn to get out of your own way
