Breathe

Do YOU

By Danielle Gardiner Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Breathe

When they disrespect you

Breathe

What truly matters is how you respect yourself

When you are treated badly

Breathe

The truest test of character

Is refusing to drink their poison

When they waste their life

With petty and ridiculous attempts to destroy you

Breathe

You are a beacon of light

To which darkness cannot contend

When the tides turn

(And believe me my dear ones, they will)

And the power now lies solely in your hands

Breathe

Abstain from contributing to the ugly destruction

Rise, fierce warrior!

Like the dust, RISE!

Remember...

These things are NOT you!

They cannot touch you!

Stand tall in the truth that is YOU

Always remain true to YOUR higher power

To a deeper truth beyond their capabilities

Constantly sourcing from light and love

From a place of pure awakening

Unperturbed by the unconscious ones

Remain steadfast in doing YOU

To the best of your ability, do YOU

Again...

Breathe

There is beauty

There is goodness

There is hope

All of these are YOU

And you, are them
