Here & Now

My presence is a present

By Brotha LovePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I am not what happened to me

I am what I choose to be

Healing from my past

Staying curious for what’s soon to be seen

Keeping my energy safe

By setting boundaries where I can place

Joy & happiness at the base

While letting go of old traditional traits

To face my shadow I must hug my reflection

Spreading love in all directions

So this is my confession

No need for approval or attachment

Because my higher self is never absent

Led by compassion and gratitude

With a gradual ascension

Out of a expectational society prison
