Limits are human …
Because humans are fearful,
And we’re raised
To ask permission
For every step we take
Until the mistakes we’re making
Aren’t Our Own anymore.
Here’s how
You can be sure
Not to lose your way:
Listen less
To whoever “they” are
When they tell you what to say,
And hear your heart
Above the roar …
Use your own inner voice
To lift up Beyond the noise.
Raise your frequency
To join the Show.
Engage True Empathy …
When trying to understand
How someone could feel
The way they do —
Lower down into their shoes;
Their experience, yours;
Their trauma, your battle scars.
Like when someone is
Jealous …
It’s because they’re afraid.
And of course they’re
Ashamed of
Feeling that way.
We must cast off
Shame to
Fly up and through …
So kick those
Dowdy garments
Down off your ankles
And spread your arms
And soar through sky,
Joy-screaming.
You’re Free.
Listen less! I loved this thank you so much for sharing your talents with us! It's beautiful!
What beautiful prose. You have such a way with words, Asteria. We really do need to realize that we're far more than the human-constructed social systems we've been placed in. Something I need to release myself from. We need to feel strongly and live for ourselves. Thank you, I really needed this message.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing this! I especially loved this part: Listen less
To whoever “they” are
When they tell you what to say,
And hear your heart
Above the roar …
Use your own inner voice
To lift up Beyond the noise.
Raise your frequency
To join the Show.
I can feel a sense of lightness when I read this ❤️
