Self-Soothing

One quiet evening into a trance a lass fell
Like someone under the influence of a powerful spell
And had an encounter with a fairy godmother
Who beckoned her to imagine a perfect life
without fear or bother

She picked her pen and paper, eyes closed and mind opened she began to write
And speak words that would normally cause her to tongue bite
Like little powerful seeds into the earth sowed
Uninhibited these words out of her flowed

" I have an imperfect beautiful life lived with intentionality
Thriving despite challenges, environment and even my nationality
Clothed in charisma, confidence, my eyes radiate a spark
That doesn't fade even when times and situations are dark

A delightful queen, daughter, creator, human and friend
Backed up by a source whose power never ends
I brighten every atmosphere I am in by everything l do
A look at me inspires joy, excitement and pride to be you

Though I wasn't always this way
Chose a better path, endured and I am here today
And all the unpleasant memories
I tell as encouraging and inspiring stories

Of how one who was afraid of her voice
Boldly raises her words to be heard above all the noise
Of one who stubbornly rejected rejection
Now commanding respect and attention

No longer am I scared of the discomfort
I am deeply aware of my immense value and worth
Discarding anything, anyone that tries to make me uncomfortable being me
For I know that I have all it takes to be the best I can be
I am not afraid to say no
Or admit there is a lot I do not know
Still I am confident in my abilities and in who I am
As an offspring of the one and only I AM

I no longer seek from people, things and titles validation
Because I have come to the realisation
That regardless of all my shortcomings I was created intricately with love
With a special purpose for life by the One above


The beautiful fairy godmother said
It is amazing what can be discovered when fear is out of the head
Everything you imagine except me is real
No matter how deep they are concealed

Then the lass asked " if you are not really what are you?
I am your imagination, I am you
Here to remind you of all you have the power to do

Just one step to find joy despite the grief
One step to hope and believe
One little step and you will be fine
One-step and a little spark will grow to be a bright light that shines
