Yours is for you – A poem of reflection

The path traveled is –

My own.

Those lessons procured –

My own.

The strength exerted –

My own.

The manifestion of that

which empowers me –

My own.

That revelation

of grace –

My own.

Arriving at that place

of consequence

knowing that

it is right

those burdens and triumphs

that oscillate

with aggravating frequency are –

My own.

“Our respective paths, our ongoing journey is not for others to assail or question the validity of.

The fact that you stand is proof enough.”

    Indeed. It is enough.

    Great poem. Great perspective. Only when we realize the experience is ours to have can we focus on doing things just because they validate our dreams, make us feel accomplished, are the right things for us. Sometimes, we spend too much time worrying about what other people think and lose the simple joy of just doing it for us.

      Thank you Run, the hardest truth is the one that we have to speak to ourselves.
