"Discovery of Us"

 

Be selective...

Learn to know...

And learn to say no...

Stop abandoning yourself for the acceptance of others

Especially from those who may benefit from your repression, suppression, or imprisonment of your true being

We can be both the prisoner and the key to our freedom

This is why we need to stop taking directions to places from those who have never been in our shoes

We are with ourselves always...

The dark moments of fear and pain...

And all those brave moments where we stepped out into our light again

The compass within our chest is not broken

It's simply asking us to follow our own map drawn before we were told where to go

It's asking us to look a little deeper...

Because the biggest adventure we ever go on is the discovery of us

It is never too late to stop...

Or even change your mind...

Making the decision to choose the betterment of you is worth the effort

It is your road travelled, no body else's

We come to understand the difference in definitions and understandings

That hurt people can hurt other people...

But a healed being can help begin to heal another...

It can be the example or inspiration given

That there is hope beyond this place where you currently stand

Growth is not always a loud thunderous roar...

Sometimes its a quiet widening of the heart of learning

Simply because we have allowed it to be

Free the spirit...

Let loving yourself to win...

Because what you choose matters always.
