The Journey
When I was child my mind was so wild
With my endless energy
I could run for miles
I felt I was stuck in an itty bitty space
So much love in my heart it caused tears down my face
And at first when I cried, people would ask why? Some would try to help me, and others would just lie, then when I found out, it would make me sad, meanies thought it funny, when I would get mad, and when I got mad, I would want to get even, they said awful things I didn’t want to believe them,
I tried to protect myself by shutting down how I feel, but when I did this I felt myself becoming steel, and steel may be good if you want to look strong, but steel is a metal it’s cold and simply cannot love
it’s empty if you choose that to be what your made of
It wasn’t until I felt my worth from deep inside
Did I truly realize only I can make me cry
No matter what people said and did, I control how I felt
And the most important words are the ones I said to myself!
If I messed up I would say that’s ok, if others laughed I’d smile and just walk away
As long as I truly did my best, I’d just have to say “hey, that’s ok it’s pretty good for today”
I’ll have to practice more, until I can show what I can make, do, or play
I have to remember to go at my speed
They can be bigger, faster, stronger and that’s ok because they’re not me
And when you can truly understand all of your emotions, you’ll see the world flowing like wonderful ocean, many will be happy and many others becoming mad,
Just remember every mad begins with feeling sad and sometimes sad can come from being scared, and its ok to approach the world with love of self and then with care.
