Insightful

I don’t have to be perfect!

Sunshine filled rainy days

Wishful thoughts in the midst of distress

Plain as day the fact that control is out of my hands

Yet my mind grasp on to the delusion that control is mine

An inability to leave it behind

For “Bright” horizons masked in winds of misconception

Increase the length and distance to this walk on a path of pain

A solution in arms reach, “just let go!”

A result of my obsession with perfection

Not realizing that to gain the desired outcome all I have to do is, “let go!”

All I have to do is accept what was, what is, and what is to come

As my stress and worrisome anxiety related to such, are in actuality leading to my unexpected failure

I refuse to fail, I refuse to lose, I refuse to fall

Or is my refusal the exact source of all the negativity that encompasses my life

In that, through failure and loss I grow stronger

A sudden recognition that this is my reality

I am stronger, I am smarter, I am more confident

All of which comes with acceptance and self love

So on this day, my rainy days mark a sign of my “New” horizons,

My reallocation of thinking, and reflection of self…

Are you ready for yours?

I enjoy the mystery of discovering new sides to an individual. Feeling capable and welcome to break out of your shell. And I believe writing is a method to encourage growth and the more novel more hidden sides of self.
