Pulling the door closed on life
I barely move
Staring
Not breathing.
Closing the door on a tiny life
Where I had stayed in the past.
This time daring something bigger
I had grown
Had become something a little bigger than
someone who crashed.
In a moment of bravado
Wanting to stay beautiful
Leaving behind who I used to be
I stood there, remembering
Who I am now
What I deserve
And I closed the door
On all of the voices
On all the demands to stay small.
I barely move
Staring
Not breathing.
Closing the door on a tiny life
Where I had stayed in the past.
This time daring something bigger
I had grown
Had become something a little bigger than
someone who crashed.
In a moment of bravado
Wanting to stay beautiful
Leaving behind who I used to be
I stood there, remembering
Who I am now
What I deserve
And I closed the door
On all of the voices
On all the demands to stay small.
My “Live Creative Poetry” series is inspired by the teachings of Christine Kane; singer, songwriter and "Mentor to Women Who are Changing the World". During the winter of 2011, I was an active participant in Christine's seven week "UpLevel Your Life" mentoring program and although never before writing poetry or even having a huge interest in it, I began to see poetry in her daily teachings.
Each day for 49 days, I wrote a poem using Christine’s teachings as my source. Visit my website at http://www.randomattitudes.com/ to read my poetry and enjoy my colorful illustrations.
I believe in the powerful energy contained in each of these writings and hope you enjoy reading them. For information on Christine and her powerful "UpLevel Your Life" programs go to http://www.christinekane.com/.
