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.
