All of the Above

"To thine own self be true,

and it must follow, as the night the day,

thou canst not then be false to any man."

~William Shakespeare

A voice so faint,

locked deep down inside.

Shook me when I heard it,

I thought she had died.

Mind playing tricks...

looked in the mirror.

It was dat other chick -

Staring back, again I hear her!

Filled with undying hopes,

condemning herself for things undone.

Suddenly she stopped comparing

herself to EV-ER-Y-ONE!

You can do this;

silence the whispers, she said.

God has gifted you,

the doubts are in your head.

Inexperienced & inadequate -

with seemingly everything to prove

Lacking resources & the relationships

needed to make the next move

Taciturn & toughened by her pain,

the losses have been great.

Quietly pursuing her dreams;

failure won't be her fate.

Falling down isn't failure.

"Quit?," she asked, "only you get cheated!,

Girl getting back up makes you undefeated."

"Come," she said, "into the revelation of His love."

"Unqualified, unashamed, & undefeated, you are all of the above."

Shoved into her purpose...

all settled in - it fits like a glove.

OMG! That voice...

not so faint and oh so true;

It is unlike any other -

She is authentically you!

Pray. Purge. Pursue.
