How About You?

I am a brilliant human being and strategist

A master manipulator of magic dreams tapping into universal energy

A co-conspirator and co-creator

I am a confident woman who ‘twists’ life to suit herself

I am shy and introspective and indulgent and think entirely too much about life, love and everything - all the time

I am anxious and I worry; until I do not, then I laugh

I have wit, charm and sensitivity, intelligence and creativity

I have a warm smile if I do not show my teeth

I am selfish, irritable and arrogant and totally dedicated to myself

I can talk out loud in my inimitable, idiosyncratic and always direct way

I am incomparable, exclusive and rare

I am a radical dreamer, a sacred rebel

I make possible what others say cannot be

I bring the light of a more positive future to this world

I have an unusual, individual take on things

The quirkiness in me dares to honour that which is different

And render the impossible, possible

I will never, ever lose my unusual ways and become dry, serious, appropriate and conventional, for I would lose my essence

I will not be dulled down and conditioned into playing something I am not

I am who I am in truth

I never apologise for being me

I never allow the intrusion of others’ incredible gall

To walk into my face and think they have the right to bawl into my space

They have no right at all

How about you?

I am the intrepid, wild wolf spirit in the flock of sheep

Do you hear the call?

I can be thoughtless and thoughtful at the same time

I am domineering and capable of strong opinions all the time

I can be fiercely independent and strong

And I can be uneasily, neurotically dependent

I am acutely intelligent and highly intuitive with deep wisdom

Somewhere in there amongst the confusion

Offset and balanced beautifully by fears and insecurities

And I see the very depths of you and of me and of all things, with crystal clear vision

I will always dream of birds that can fly under water

I am erudite and quirky and oft times intrepid and bold

Other times I carry my vanity as an accessory to being self-serving and totally demanding

When I love, I love completely and I can make you feel as though there is nobody else in the room but you

And in that moment that is true

I am a sentimentalist and tears fall royally for the hurt and disenfranchised

I am passionate for life, for love and for all who dwell here

I am also an isolationist unwilling to mingle in the mire of others’ despair

I sit with you instead and hold that space for you to Be you

I am a defender, a champion for your and my truth

The truth of who we are without artifice, without the fear and the lies we hide behind

I can be fickle. I can be firm. I can be strong. I can be warm. I can be ice cold

I can be everything

And so can you

I am a vigilante. I am a maverick. I am unique. I am one-of-a-kind

And so are you

I am a bunch of contradictions.

I am born to be wild, born to be free, born to be me.

How about you?

You reached the centre of your universe yet?

Your both sides now?

Your paradoxes and your old paradigms?

Your total acceptance of your counterstatement?

Of your whole countenance?

Have you reached the point of your return?

The knowing in your heart, your mind, your fragile soul?

That the embracing of all of you

Gives the tender kiss of love to your life?
