Chosen Ones

Chosen ones are the ones that answer the call
The ones that get back up after their 111th fall
Chosen because we chose to dig deep
We decided to lose sleep
we wanted to sow what we reaped
We did everything we could to keep good karma
We learned to Be Here Now, achieve true dharma
We took the road less traveled
We decided to let go of ego
We decided to be front line in internal battles
We decided to learn to be a hero
Its literally HARD! It gets exhausting
when levels & tests have to be repeated
I mean some days you truly feel defeated
But shadow work, breathing, reading, an ending to competing
Realizing we are co-creators, alchemist, 
More powerful than the greatest wizard or chemist
Composed of the Universe...Lived. Suffered. Learned
The title of a Chosen isn't given, but earned

Amen love it for he placed a spirit within that fights for us, then he pulls us out this world and gives new mind and strength to see it is not a fight against this worlds worries and values, but for us to learn to die daily to our old ways that he might live through us to show his love and that others might seek his guidance within

Yes Yes, and truly we cannot say he. It is US our inner self. I just learned why we refer to God as a He, as a frequency, a conscious doesn't have gender. but yes yes yes, "Cide" to die... we de"cide" to become new daily. Thank you Beautiful being for engaging with my poem.
