Steady yourself~

the fury of your Circumstances

cannot overcome

the Truth of you; your inner path.

Lift your head high;

it carries a wealth of wisdom

from painful lessons

learned from facing Everything

in life

with Courage.

Dislodge the pettiness

from those shoulders where

responsibility rests,

and let it fall

ever so appropriately

on those who created it.

Unforeseen situations

will always arise,

as will unwanted opinions.

Nothing you face today,

not one single thing

changes who You are…

Your heart remains ever

Loving, and your Soul ever

Shining and untarnished.

Smudges you think you wear

show only on the faces

of those throwing the dirt~

never on the Warrior

refusing to succumb

to mediocrity…

Live your Truth.
