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
