Competency Is Living Your Truth

Competency is living your truth Creating your life, as if it was never really here For it is not and cannot be as long as you are there Looking out of a fishbowl That needs to be broken So you can swim in oceans, not bowls Respect yourself enough to take the action steps now Do not squander ten or thirty years wishing aloud For the things you were never brave enough to go after. Run with all of your might Toward the you whom you have Yearned to know since the beginning. Pick up your sad sorry self, and wipe the depression off your chest. scrape it with a pancake spatula throwing it onto the sorry gray tile you have always hated Set fire to the TV and the computer. You are opportunity. You are possibility. You are invincible. Go out naked, into the light. Throw open the sun. Just go, Create the faerie pirate queen You know is inside pounding to get out.
