Essence

It is of the essence. Time; it is very precious. The past affects the future but for now let's focus on the present. Tense, like the feeling you get when you can't breathe. Mind, body and soul supposed to be one, but each is moving at its own speed. Now it's time to re-evaluate. To sit and to self reflect. "Like have you been giving yourself all the love you deserve or are you still in debt? And the love you receive is it truth? And the love you receive is it fair? Is the love you receive built on honesty? A pure heart that truly loves and cares?" "And what is it that you have to offer this world, that you bury so deep inside? The talents and gifts you've been blessed with, yet always seem to hide. Is it fear of rejection? Is it fear of being turned down? Is it fear of not being good enough? Is that why your voice never makes a sound?' Almost like a game of chess. Each move is well planned and thought out, but have you ever stopped to think that maybe that's why some things fall out. So detailed and designed. Instructed in every way. Two players, both determined but still only one wins the game. Patience. Many of us have some to give but never offer. Life treats us the same way with ups and downs like a ride on a teeter-totter. Only to knock one down and in the same breath pick them back up. But life and time have that in common, it teaches one how to get tough. Trying to Xscape soft cries and lonely nights. Singing "Who can I run to?" Not realizing that the answer is within you. Do you know who you belong to? Has anyone ever taught you who you are? Did you know that you are sons and daughters of the most infinite star? Made in the image of God who watches over thee. Your worth goes beyond that of a diamond and of any fancy jewelry. Your body is a sanctuary. Your mind, a nugget of gold. Your soul is your everything, that not everyone deserves to hold. Blessings they surround you. Heaven is forever in your reach. Self love and self respect are the ways in which you teach.. Teach those around you how to approach. Teach them not to move on infatuation and not to engross. Your energy; It is sacred, always something to hold close. "Do you know who you are?" "Do you know who you belong to?" I hope you find your worth, and may God continue to guide you.
