Look at balance
Look at the flow
Look
Look
And you will truly know.
If you are in doubt about the impossible like moving mountains with faith of a mustard seeds
Surley!
Your soul is weak…
So seek your strength in not yourself but from the nourishment of the womb of the universe and its seven heavens…
Surely!
I turn myself
My mind
My tongue
My emotions
My heart
To being upright
I recalibrate my energy, vibrations and frequencies..
It’s not all about having
It’s about sharing and giving what my creator and universe put inside of me…
If you are in doubt of the sea parting
If you are in doubt
Surely soon we all shall see..
All our woes and pains part right infront of thee…
I ..
I lean not anymore
To my own understanding
I seek assistance from the universe that birth me…
I ..
I know nothing at all
A speck of fluid ejaculated i am but my creator still loves me as filthy as I am….
I..
I cry
I cried
I worried
I stressed
My life is a was a mess…
But i closed my eyes and took a breath
And lo and behold the universe renewed my heart mind soul and breath…
I hold no grudges
I hate not those who wronged me
I’m not bitter
I’m not petty
I judge not because I can’t afford myself to be judged
I’m grateful for even the blessings I prayed for and never received. .
I’m grateful for the little
The nothing
I have…
No longer disappointed
No longer mad…
I slander you not
I feast not on your character and your shortcomings
I’m not an animal
I’m a human being
There is no victory or great feeling for the destruction and Terrorizing people’s hearts, feelings, emotions, well-being, and souls…
On this day I yearn to be free
From life immorality
I give up the ghost
The ghost of my ego that tries so hard to hunt me.
Perfect I am not
Saint
Sage
Angel
I never want to be
I am energy flowing through the universe
