Letting Go, Letting Flow, Letting Glow
i calculated the steps to a life in my head
and ended up learning to fly for a life in my heart
i set a world of expectations
for who i perceived i was
for those around me
I demanded a precise love
when tossed in reality
I was faced with the hard fact
that those expectations i set
could never by the best of me
be met
i became human
when i saw the human in you
i became human
when i saw how much i failed you
At first, the pain was too much for me to chew
and i broke up with myself
to punish the last being who could not
meet up my absurd set in stone point of view
it took me sometime
but i learned to accept
who i am
finally embracing my unabashed truth
and then i reconnected with life
closing my eyes to what i wanted to be
opening them to this ocean of infinite possibilities
i shut down my mind
got my heart fully unlocked
i accepted i was the villain and the victim
in my own inner plot
yet nothing ever got simpler
nor I expect them to be
i just learned to reach for the stars daily
to deliver to the world
the light i have within me
and for that, I don't need to expect a thing
i just love
i just live
i just breath
