I feel the chains breaking

Poetic Dan



From the moment I was told that you don't pronounce the B in doubt
Was the time I began to build it within myself
Never could this click in my head, so special "education" I would get instead
This carried on throughout school feeling to stupid to keep up with them all

Then came the time at home
Being told big boys don't cry
But their falling from my eyes

I've trapped myself inside myself and locked many doors
Slowly I've been picking them to rid myself of flaws
Knowing it's okay to be scared and afraid to be yourself
 
There is happiness in going it alone
A marriage may of stopped but not gone
Out of that love came two shining lights
Breaking my own spell of self-sabotage

I've not been abandoned or rejected
My children are teenagers standing by me
No longer I fear this vibration deep down
That holds the sounds of my howls

This chain I break knowing and accepting unconditionally myself
For the gift from others perspectives will no longer hurt they can only heal
This begins here and now so I write it, I post, even done a video truly asking for me to take my own advice...

Enjoy the journey while you are here
Live in love let go of fear

    Often my mind slips back to this piece which i recommend highly:-

    http://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html

    If it is already known to you then i apologise. Printing off a copy and hanging it upon the loo door is a good idea. For in those quiet contemplative moments alone one can often find a phrase to uplift thoughts.

    • Poetic Dan

      It was not known, thank you such a great ending too.

      "You are a child of the universe,
      no less than the trees and the stars;
      you have a right to be here.
      And whether or not it is clear to you,
      no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."

      Definitely a reminder well needed, thank you

        The part which you highlight is definitely the most important one to me. It empowers me gives me worth and therefore strength. We are stardust !

        All you gotta fear, all anyone gotta fear, is my singing! heehee. If only that was all there was to be fearful and anxious about!

        • Poetic Dan

          I'm slowly letting go of all fear, so I'd glady face the song from a sing bird high on life. 😉

          I love your vulnerability.. very beautiful!! Self love is key

          • Poetic Dan

            Such a wonderfully positive write. You have become yourself and dug your way out of the darkness into the light. The light will always be with you and your children.
            Fabulous strong video - yes just be yourself, and go on into your future with the strength that you have newly found.

              Thank you Andy, it's been an honour to have your reflection over the years. Strength I've found from all around but it is words like yours that feel so sincere that dry my inner tears to let go of all I fear.
