Sometimes what seems right and the easy way of being
both conflict with the insight guiding me.
Turning any action pending or emanating from me
into a potential act of rebellion against what’s expected of me.
What a good workout for self-awareness this provides to me.
Makes my insides feel like my outsides do
when I’m lifting weights this heavy.
Uncomfortable and tested. Challenged, and Stretched,
Pumped, aggravated, and aggressively assertive…
Until I’m convicted of the things currently limiting,
I suddenly see through them to the possibilities.
I let go and cease struggling, rest in peace ‘anxious me’,
I’m taking up the baton passed on to me, boldly.
Time to feed or break them completely. What will it be?
