To BE...

We all have a choice to make.

TO BE or not to be, why does this question linger so...

Am I to be great or am I to be insignificant and wallow below those which feel like I have no right to exist?

The decision is mine just as the decision is yours.

Regardless to how much they tug and scratch they yell and scream we still have a choice.

Will it be harder to get to my desired destination?

Yes, without doubt but the strength that is needed to do so we already hold within.

So I’ll fight,

so I’ll rise,

so I’ll live,

even when they want to see me fall.

I’ll stand,

I’ll strive,

I’ll overcome every obstacle set in front of me internal and externally.

I’ll become that which you said that I couldn’t.

I’ll become all that you said that I wouldn’t.

And not just for the satisfaction of proving you wrong…

but for the satisfaction of proving me right!

So you can’t hold me down in the dark because I’ll rise into the light.

I’ll stand STRONG through the days and nights.

I’ll thrive in time with persistence, consistency, resilience, and integrity.

So...

“To BE” is what I’ve decided

And to BE, I’ve invited not only for me but also for you

So trust in yourself if it’s all that you do.

About the Creator

T’Monai

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.
