Walking the walk

When you are doing all you can

By Lee NaylorPublished 5 years ago 4 min read

When you are doing all you can, and at every turn you find another hurdle. When you are trying so hard to make it all right, and your fighting the demons inside you.

Crowds always walking in the opposite direction, that's okay except they all seem to get everything their searching, and no matter how you try, those hurdles they keep coming.

Don't want a helping hand from anyone. Want to stand on your own two feet. Never cared just where the crowd was going as long as you had your own two feet. Then another comes a long, kicks you down then hits a little harder.

Get up from the dust, just to stand on your own two feet. Always walking against the grain. When will life give you a hand, when will you catch your break, as you start walking carefully, always with trepidation.

Your soul says just keep going, helping others along your way. My light is shining bright. Trying hard to make it on my own. Just need a break to see that I can matter too. All I ever wanted stands right before me, looking at me in the mirror.

I've put good out and worn a smile, I've helped when I could and started to stand alone. Then came the crowd, jostling to and fro. They knock me down and tread across my heart and tell me to stand on my own two feet. How many times times do I have to make my light shine again.

I know that lately changes are there, more people keep telling me to keep shining bright. Never knew that anyone even saw it there. People come into our lives to make us what we are meant to be. They open doors, they lead the way and show us more.

Keep standing on my own two feet, always against the grain, but I'll keep trying to see the good that is there, while making myself who I'm supposed to be. I'll walk the walk that I talk, and learn while I'm getting there. Always doing what I can to be talking the talk, doing all I can to share.

When things get too much and I start to forget, I need only to remember my intuition, guiding, leading, knowing. Teaching me to walk the walk back home, where my light shines on it's own. Each day I get further to knowing, that the crowd isn't really there.

I'm not alone just part of one, having a billion different experiences. We follow a crowd, and take more time to see them and their path than the path laid out before each of us. Walk the walk, and talk the talk, but do it against the grain. Don't get lost in what isn't for you, and don't forget that the good we put out is the good that returns to our arms.

Lights burn out and leave us in darkness, learn to burn from inside instead. Take my hand and pull away from the crowd. Step lightly as you realize, we are each here to live, to love, to learn then our spirits they get anxious for the dimension we cannot find. It's time to shine so bright, they see us throughout the galaxy.

Don't let the crowds take you away, you'll find yourself soon enough. Don't let the darkness consume you. Fight the crowd, step into your own path and breathe. We are all one bright light, so walk the walk you were born to walk, and talk the talk you walk. The crowd is silent and is lost in the darkness of the life we used to know.

I'm taking steps to change it, I'm learning to light the path that used to be so crowded. Each day gets easier as the Universe watches my progress and starts leading me down new paths. Placing the people I need to help me grow. The new world is beginning, and it's full of open doors. I can breathe on my own, I can stand with my light showing the path before me.

Each day gets us closer, to the dreams and goals we place. Each step into the unknown, trusting the light burning inside us. Stepping out of the crowd and leaving the fear behind us. Following the loves light glow to infinity.

Push your smile to the stars, forget the world we leave behind. Choose the unknown, the path left untrodden by the crowd. Believe that once was, can be made better and we can all breathe, together yet alone, living our own experiences. Loving. Laughing. Glowing our true souls.

Leave the crowd behind, and show the others that their is plenty of abundance for us all. Find the peace you see in your mind, the love you feel in your heart. Feel for the ones still sleeping in the crowd. Some know there is something different, something breaking free. Some feel that there is more to know but don't think we can be free.

Walk the walk you've been talking, show the crowd that it can be done. Grasp sunshine, and laugh as you crunch the leaves under your feet, running the path before you. Just ask and ye shall receive, it's time to move forward to the bright new world. Talk the talk you've been talking as you grow your wings to soar.

Show the crowd its worth leaving all the fear behind. Show the Universe that we can be strong, we can learn the lessons before us. Like a beacon in the night, breathing in the pure air of love and life. Stepping through the door that used to separate, and leave your fears behind. Don't think. Just feel.

It's a brand new world where the crowd will see the light. It's a brand new world where abundance lessons all our fears. It's a world without the crowds to hold you back. Because you know. The lightness is the life's pure love and darkness can't abide. Love without restriction, Shine without remorse.
