A Guarded Heart is a Poisoned Mind.

Self awareness is the purest form of freedom ❣️

Pay Attention

You Pay attention to what they say

So you can hear what they won’t.

You Pay attention to how they act now

So when the tables turn, you’ll know what move to make.

You believe People lie, and you may never understand them

They lie so much it eventually feels true

But you pay attention to it all

So they can never fool you

Trying your best

To Be fool proof.

Neglecting the fact that this “guard”

Is slowly poisoning you.

Filling your mind with negativity every chance it gets.

If you thought it, you won’t ignore it

You’ll act calm but you’re still looking for it.

For anything really,

that’ll make that “guard” have a purpose

You know It may hurt to find

What you always knew

To be true

But one thing you should have never done

Was shift the attention

Away from you

So as hard as you watch them,

Be as mindful of yourself

Take a passionate interest

In your own emotional health

Sow seeds in your garden to bloom into

Your Emotional Wealth

It’s okay to feel uncertain, scared and confused

After all, we were all created

In one way or another

To be used.

And it’s okay. It is perfect in that way

Each thing person or thought is just another test

Precisely To determine how you will be blessed

So pay attention

To how you feel and what you think

Don’t allow that “guard” to stand over you so much

You start to sink.
