It may be said that we reap what we sew: We learn from mistakes, we dig and we grow. We choose and we feed, what we think that we need, and somehow wind up, just planting a seed. I remember back when, I was strong and brave, Courageous was I, never bow or behave. But like a gazelle, I am down, and weak; In the mouth of a lion, I tremble and shake. How did I get here? So tired and scared: A fork in the road, confused and ensnared. What is wrong with me? I sigh to myself; I've not done anything wrong, I'm just being myself! But perhaps thats the problem, myself is just wrong, never accepted for me, have to change to belong. I will no longer alter myself to be loved, will not place anyone, ahead or above: No sacrifice made of myself for another, I choose myself and seek to discover. A gazelle I was, but now I am not. A lion roars loudly..... I haven't forgot!!!!

Roar like a Lion

Coming back to myself, my higher self, my divinity. I am enough. I am love. I choose me.
