Warrior Words, a poem

All is well 

I know I have purpose 

I forbid my fearful self to backslide 

To even think about taking the "safe for now" route 

This is my destiny 

Unfolding like a set path 

Lit up with design and delight 

I won't fear

I'm so done with that

I'm so done with that sick sidetracker 

The waster of energy 

That fear 

I'm so done with fears detours 

I am overflowing with sweet words 

With warrior words 

To wage war 

War against the lies I've always told myself 

Against the fear I beg to win 

No 

Not any longer 

Will I take the safest looking ways?

The fulfillment is in the unknown 

The risks are too

But this time I'm armed 

With weapons of strength and vigilance

I am resilient 

I face this destiny 

My calling ever calling 

How could I be numb and deaf to its call?

Deny myself

Before I deny the call 

Am I afraid of where it takes me? 

Where it leads?

You can be sure, I am

But I am open

I'm free to see where I belong 

Who I end up being at the new beginning

I'm so free 

I'm so ready 

I say with a demanding prayer

"Lead me!"

And you respond with love

I trust in welcoming truth

How I love you My Leader

There is no fear left in this place 

Now I'm fearless

I face my destiny 

Don't I see? 

Don't I believe?

I do 

I'm an artist 

Always have been

Always will be 

No physical external circumstances could ever take that away from me

My identity is abstract

Even separate from what was just described
