Selfspiration

Are you as conflicted about this life as I am

Are some days wonderful...beautiful

Your heart bursting with joy

While on other days...you regret waking up

You wish you never got out of bed

Then this is for you

A bit of joy and conflict intermingling

...

I am strong

I am bold

I am unafraid

Filled with...SELFSPIRATION

The art of inspiring one's 'self'

Yet...

I am also afraid...most of the time

I cannot let it show too much

I used to be timid, but I grew up

I still feel weak sometimes

I cringe in the shadows, sometimes

I am scared of what tomorrow brings

Sometimes---

Yet curiously...

I peek into the future with great anticipation

Needing desperately to know what it holds

hoping for the best of myself

I am an open book

I am an enigma

wrapped in a riddle that puzzles me

therefore...I must be a puzzle to you

I am confused...at times

I am lost...at times

Yet...

My eyes are wide open to it all

The verdant trees

Majestic forests

Life's human march of souls

Searching for celestial answers

The contrasts profound

Beauty unbound

Thoughts of Heaven

Terrors of Hell

If we truly bare our innermost souls

Speak with perfect truth and honesty,

We will admit with humility...

This life scares the beJesus out of us all

Yet, we arise each day and face the maelstrom

Dive head-first into the fray

Thankfully...

This life is for fearful, fearless living,

matters not what storms it may bring

or what joy sings upon the wind

We are brave souls tossing upon the waves

Into the sunset we steer our crafts

Some wise person said...

Yesterday is history

Tomorrow is a mystery

Today is a gift;

That's why we call it...

'The Present'.
