the humbling

dsdwriting:

there are stories of
war field glories,
men have traveled from earth
to the moon,
our ancestors from coast to coast
on horses that died, rivers of pestilence

my story is a bit different, i’m a joke -
pathetic at the core, my wars fought
in my head, never with my heart; i once
called myself a vagabond but that was
a lie, my home was a bar stool just like
my ancestors

and though i walked through the valley of death,
losing my breath, death did not want me

one last shot at glory.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson
