Just Keep Swimming!

Sounding Like Dora!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE!

That was What she learned to do!

If her powers were external, she would be high voltage_

But her powers are internal_

So, she keeps on getting bright Ideas, bright Ideas she hopes grow somewhere_

She prays that the doubt on the inside will just burn out, or that the light from the bulb shine so bright that fear of success will lose all its hype_

With the typing of fingers and her emotions steady flowing_

As she reads back, she had no inner knowing_

That her pain would help her to hear her inner knowing_

Heal wounds & 1st she didn't even know it_

The fear of shame or the back calls that she’s lame_

Does she let that stop her from adding passion to her flame?

At first, she didn't know which way to swim,

She just trusted her inner knowing_

Just keep swimming, sounding like Dora...

Although at times she thought it was a joke,

She dreaded to hear that joker dreaded laughter_

She meant that joker before,

They were the times when jokester's voices seemed louder_

However,

Inner knowing was often sounder,

Warming up the engine,

Drifting through the mission,

Taking pictures of the landscape,

Drawing out the blueprint!

At times her visions kept infiltrating all the doubt that the jokesters laughed at_

Still, inner knowing kept shedding light,

That bulb kept glowing_

She just kept flowing and growing!

As she reached the shore, to her surprise, she saw others coming out of the water

cheering each other on, praising with Victory_Celebrating the mission they were born 4_
