Simply being me

Soul Treasures

From flee or hide
To be and light

There is no should or have to or must
There is a solution to get rid of the rust

That poisons the mind and makes me feel stressed
It's OK to be and OK to rest

Whatever may come and puts me to the test
It's not there to poison but make me be my best

I won't accept defeat but will take the opportunity to win
More space just to be, more space within

With every challenge
I focus on balance

To be stable in me
with no need to flee

I can choose to change direction
To a joyful 'perfection'

With respect to all feeling
from a desire for healing

Not making wounds deeper
Just making them heal
Not hiding away from all that I feel

It had it's good reason, it deserves respect
Surpressing will harm more, I can redirect

Gentle and loving with warmth and care
Looking after my mind as a friend who is there

To support and encourage instead of talking me down
I'm allowed all my feelings and every frown

They have their reason, they helped me survive
They kept me safe and they kept me alive

I'm longing for peace to be freed from the stress
So I focus on strengths and the joy I posess

What is valuable to me can help deal with the mess
So I can heal all those feelings and release the stress

In my longings I see who I am meant to be
A joyful being, a peaceful me

I can relax and set myself free
There is nothing that I have to be
It is OK, simply being me
