Transcendence

Start You New Beginning

By Sherie RamosPublished about a year ago 1 min read

When your legs are just moving and leading you,

Your body is inevitably forced to follow.

Your heart does know exactly what to do so do it,

Before your overthink yourself into tomorrow.

When fear is all you’ve ever known, then masking it becomes your profession.

Until there’s no room left for your real job, putting your feelings in a continual state of calculated repression.

But the ties that bind your hands and feet together and that blindfold on your face,

Are the materials that only a mastermind like you could put into and keep in place.

The truth is, you’re not actually scared of the world- your afraid the world may not be ready for what you can do.

Dumbing yourself down, muting your voice, and diluting your personality- so they don’t see the concentrated version of you.

But one day and one day soon, you’ll take off the blindfold and tethered rope.

Your third eye, like your legs, will automatically activate, and what lies ahead is opportunity and hope.

All your life you’ve feared snakes, but you’ve also feared the immense power you hold within.

In actuality, you ARE a snake that is now too big. Start your new beginning, and shed your old skin.
