You Are Enough

Weigh yourself against others
And you will be lost
So many to please
All with a different view
Of who you should be
And the only "right" action to take
As each seeks to make of you
Their mirror
Every choice brings condemnation
Who shall you be?

Count only your ego
As you make your way
Consider no one
And you will cut many
With your thoughtless push
No freedom will you find
From yourself
When you can only hate
What you have become

There will come a day
When you must let go
Of everything
Your striving to please
The need for approval
That cold terror
Of disappearing into complacency
You will forgive them all
And drop all guilt and shame
Forgiving yourself, too
You are empty in that moment
Blessedly void, oh sweet zero!

As you lean in, just slightly
You can hear the whisper of truth
Let it flow
Intuition fueling movement
Compassion and understanding
Blessing all interactions
Integrity and honesty
Keeping the way clear

You are light
You are spirit
The path you walk is yours alone
You live, breathe, connect
Laugh, cry and soar

All you can be
Is you
And, it is enough
