Kristen Bruni Poet Rhyme

Instinct

I am never without my instincts. 
My natural womanly possession that
guides me through this life. 
I carry them with me everywhere,
locked up tight with no key.

When the world saps my energy,
clouding my creativity and decisions, 
I close my eyes and take one minute
to ask my gut.
The answer comes and I am 
never sorry.

I've been lead out of danger and
carried to love.
I've followed my dreams. 
It is only when I doubt
that I find myself in trouble. 

When I fumble through darkness
I am led to the light.
When I feel I am drowning,
I listen to my heart and am able to 
breath under water. 

I surface again. 

( For the I Carry Me contest)
