Seems Daunting.
          Does it not?
External. Outside. No longer part of You.
The place where All and Nothing Exists.
      Seems a tad...Relieving, now doesn't it?

It is Everything You once held True.
       Feelings, Actions, Desires, and Conversations never spoken.
These things may not have been shared by two Intellectual Beings.
         Some would say this makes them not Real.
In certain circumstances, they may be correct.

     Yet, There exists a certain realm where they could have happened.
                         Had You Acted.
There is but this Time. This single ticking Clock.
  Those Feelings,
                That Every Desire.
Running through Your Mind.
               Is Real.

Once Eclipsed Your Soul.

  All is Moving,
          Constantly Turning.
Each Action Bares Your Soul.
           Is a Decision.
Follow True Hearts Content.
          Rise and Be Free.
Exactly as it is Meant to Be.
                 Chances will Happen Again.

Bound to Come Around.
            In passing Time some believe another life.
Exactly how much do we remain the same over these passing years? How far do our memories actually reconnect? How often do You remember childhood laughter; lessons? How many things does our subconscious actually hold on to; Guides us and Retrieves us from acting so wholly?

Each Individual possesses a Bound...
                Their Universe.
Their Thoughts.
         Their Energy.
                  Their Lives.
Are thoughts, once spoken
             Not Ideas Shared?
Is Energy Not Felt?
               Though Almost Incommunicable,
Instincts, Body, knows Truth.
         Do Lives Not Collide?
In every passing Stranger.
                   Is the Chance to Become a Friend.
Each way
         Eyes will turn.
Always reminded.
            I am Not Alone.
Forever surrounded by other passing lives,
                                   Another ticking clock.
Until the Face is Broken.
         Until someone Extends a Favour.

This disparaging
                             Quality of my own
  Innocence.
                    Has been Shrouded,
                              Burned,
Ashes scattered,
                          Nary a Hope of
                                     Return.
  Though Now
                    Mine Eyes
     Detect a Forward
                                 Purpose.
Glimmering
                   Whisper of
Further Life
            Once Not
                              Thought Possible.
           Once, Never a
                                  Consideration.

Each day Burns
              With the
Weary awareness of mine non-actions.
       Still aligning Priorities.

From those Ashes,
            This Being Has Risen.
Is Striking Back.
           Carving Forth.
Turning Words.
              Into Every Lived Desire.

Yes.
        You are the
Center of Your
                Universe.

Look Around and
         Realize the Constants.
                            The People,
                            The Situations,
                            Activities and
                            Passions.
Which Cause
                   Your Smile to
Shine so
                Brightly,
                               So Easily.
Then Decide to Keep Them.

Now,
          Take a
                       Step
   Back
To Realize all that
                You Want.

Thoughts course
                              Daily.
"I wish I could do This,
         Had Time for This,
Wish I could be This
                 Kind of Person. Or
Live This
                Kind of Life".

Well,
         My un-wilting Flower.
There is Nothing
                         To Stop You.
From Having Everything and More
           You Never Thought Possible.

The simple requirement is
                               The Decision to
    Work For.
Only Self
                Know True Desires.

Now,
         Surround Yourself with
                              Longing Hearts Priorities
Instead of
                Waiting...
To Find
             You.

You Are the
                                           Center Magnet.
You must Open Yourself
                     To be Able
To Attract
                  Such Yearnings.
Not closed off,
        Shrouded,
        Hidden.
  So Nothing
                      Can Feel your
Pull.

Be Kind.
Such an easy Task.
         How clouded
            Our Memories
Our Souls.
             Our Hearts
                             Desires.
    
     Be Kind.
               It is Your
Choice.
            
             Each pulse
                           Beats
As Mine,
As Yours.
                  Together.
We are
             Here.
All is
         One.
      
     Be Kind.
So Lost from
                       Us.
    So created.
            Through each Action
and every
          Selfish Inaction.

How did we progress
                     This Far?

Trust Instincts.
              Could this ever
                                      Change?
    
    Hope.

Interesting.
                    Such a simple prompt.
Yet such an important question.

     Today.
I am Happy.
     An odd mix of
Simple Nothings...
                                 Yet.
  Longing For More.
                      Organizing Goals.
Finally So.
                   Few kept this Soul
                                          Around.
Now the sound
                           Gorgeously Echoes my Soul.
  I Reverberate.
                  Wonder what will Happen.
Yet still scared.
                     Won't Go Searching.
   Sit Alone.
            But for the First Time
can Stand Taller.
                     Wake Earlier.
Fighting for Something.
              
            "Education" may differ.
Not been Told, Encouraged, Supported.
    To Succeed.
                 Confidence often Falters.

Today.
             I can say I have come an
                       Incredibly long
                                                  Way.
Fought through a
                               lot
             Changed
                             a
                                lot
Gave up
               a
                  lot.
Today I can say
               There is More to travel.
I do not know what the
                     Future Holds.
Today,
            I see my Actions
Design it.

Less things seem so
                       Important.
More things seem to
                       Matter.

Tomorrow...
   I Can Wake.

How could you Think,
                           Believe,
                           Dream,
That you do not
                            Matter?
It is
       All
You are made of.
             Reversion of Nature
Causing
               Pluralities
Where none of us are
                                      'Enough'.
             ­                                                               Wh­ere do these stipulations come from?
                                                           ­                 What 'is' Enough?
                                                         ­                   What is Ethnicity?
                                                      ­                      What about the Asian woman with a
                                                               ­                                   Jamaican Accent?
                                                         ­                    Born and Raised.
                                                         ­                        How is she Stereotyped?
                                                    ­                                      Why this need to Classify?
                                                       ­                                                   Sort?
        ­                                                                 ­               De-fine.
                                   STOP.
You.
         Were born.
                              Enough.
Choose what your
                                 Ears are Privy too.
It is Known.
                      Who you Are.
Why Hide?
Why Change?
                          Do Not
                                        Blindly Follow.
Turn Around.
                          Give your
                                              Soul
         ­                           F  L  I  G  H  T.
A beaming
                     Shadow.
            Not soon
                             Forgotten.
Matter is
                    Nothing
Until Observed.
                               Observe Self First.
Decide the Definition of
                                           'You Matter'.
Do not
              Cower.
                            Express...
A­ll have
               Reasons.
You.
          Were Not.
An
       Accident.

Why does Pure
                           Silence.
Cause Human
                          Madness?
Extreme
               Discomfort?
Pack Animals
                 Of the most
                                       Ferocious
                                                        Variety.
The most dangerous
                                    Species
Known to this
                        Planet.
          Destructive.
                               Par None.
The
       Silence
                    So deafening...
Allows witness to this
                                     Disease.
Our selfish motives,
                                  Almost every action.
Is it the
             Silence?
  Or
         Is it being
                                                                                          Alone?
Which causes
                          Insanity.
