Strength

Save Yourself

They tell me
Which wave
Is safe
To ride.
That's how I
Maneuver atop ocean
Without drowning

They are the wind
The sun
My bones
The self knows
All
Trust yourself

Even when it
Hurts
Even when it
Aches
Even if your
Skin peels
Kneel before
And honor
Your golden intuition.
Your sacred inner
Voice.
Which no one
Can take.
Which can only
Grow stronger
With water
Attention
And love.
No one and
Nothing
Is above.
The more you
Put it off,
The more
Accidents you'll get in
Save yourself.
Don't go looking
For signs
Or wormholes
Or rabbit holes
In hell.
Pave your own way
Angels are there
But they can't
Control you
Only you know you
Renounce what
Sends you
In circles.
Take up what's
Saved you
Before.
There's nothing more
No greater compass
Than your own
Experience
To learn from
Even if it burns
Turn
From self doubt
To the vastness
Of possibility
You don't need
A hand to hold-
It's getting old
And so are you.
Can't you see things
Were better
Before we let
Anyone in?
