LIFE’S LESSONS 21. ME.

LIFES LESSONS.

Within my fear of failure, I shut myself away, Not believing it is possible, to succeed in any way, My talents I keep hidden, so no one else can view, Not realising that unto myself, I am not being true.

My own worst cri c, I am no good, I always used to say, Un l the dawning of realisa on, came to me one day, That it does not ma er, what others think of me, If I focus thought and do my best, I can make it eventually.

Branching out, taking steps to bring about a change, The person I now am, is prepared to start again, Learning how to cope, with situa ons I used to dread, Turning nega ves into posi ves, Constantly within my head, Not allowing my insecuri es, to be brought into mind, Knowing that I am capable, That confidence grows in me.

Looking back I am so grateful, For the lessons I have learnt, Acknowledging that credibility, Is something, I myself have earnt.

ME.

I gaze unto the stars, within the realms of night, Con nually denying myself, the gi of inner sight, To look beyond the obvious, in all that I can see, Reaching out and finding, the wonder of tranquillity, That exists within the heart of me, which so o en I neglect, Believing only in my inadequacies, denial of self respect,

Life is full of choices, some temp ng in allure, But o en I do not no ce, never being really sure, And with my indecision, I falter and hesitate, Some mes leaving opportuni es, un l they are too late,

For life it is for living, not to be passed by, Knowing that however painful, o en we have to try, Travelling a different pathway, into unknown territory, Maybe for the first me, allowing our true selves to be,

Experiencing emo ons, that as yet have not been known, Fulfilling our inner purpose, accep ng that we have grown, Into a new person, ready to move on, The shadows of our past regrets, finally being gone,

Forgiving those who have hurt us, those who caused us pain, Knowing that it is always possible, to begin again, Now I look into the darkness, that no longer has a hold, For I can see the Light of Hope, And I know that I am Whole.
