Sprouting Into My Self Realization
You lift me way up high
like a mountain to reach the top
then you quickly tear me down.
You caress me with love
And put me on a pedestal
then again you make me feel discourage.
You encourage me to dream
To reach for new horizons
and those dreams are shattered
when you conduct yourself afar of your ideology.
And in my ups and downs,
And every smile I give,
and in my effort to reach my dreams
……. I struggle.
I struggle to fulfill your expectations
I struggle to understand
your wants and emotions
[and in the process I lose sight of myself]
and what I want to become.
Knowing this, I open up
like a fragile rose that
Unfolds petal by petal
[and liberate the power that’s in me]
that lead me to trust and love myself
With hopes and dreams
I unfold …………
