Open your eyes!

Open your eyes!

A Poem by Elle-D2
"

Dream big, enhance your scope, reach your potential. You are brave, you are wise, you are female.

"
Doing for others, before yourself. At a consistently, constant pace.
Forgetting who you are and why you even were brought into this place.
Trying to remember all your previous years. Lost in the nonsense of all of those fears...
Defeating them only to make others proud. My dear, you were such a mess.
You were beginning to completely forget yourself. That time has come oh sweet dear. 
To realize that you're not meant to ignore yourself.
 Silly girl, you've been living this life, always, for somebody else.
Fulfilling someone else's needs before your own.  Oh child, that is not why you were born.
You are strong, intelligent, and you have plans to make.
You are aging and growing and it's time pave a new path in life, dedicated to you.
A path with directions only made flexible by you.
It's time to stop letting others bend in your way.
You are finding yourself and that is hard enough without those aggravating pains.
You are not bound to your ethic of care. 
You are only bound to the lens you choose to scope your life with.
Dream big, enhance your scope, reach your potential.
You are brave, you are wise, you are female.
Dream so big darling, that no negative thoughts can ground you.

So strange i think i finally managed to do all that in my life
I love how you urge one to set a path
and be kind to oneself
to love the soul within
like loving others

Gently done and touching
Thank you for sending me a read request

I love it because it is the truth, I, too am that way. People tend to try to either change you or use you. Nicely put.
