What I Want For Myself
Once I finally stop
prioritizing what others think of me,
and what they expect of me,
I can finally get to the task
of finding what I truly want for myself.
What true freedom,
what absolute liberation!
My primary drive has always been
to please and placate others,
intuiting what they wanted
in every moment of every day…
It is a way of living
that is not living at all,
but a type of slavery
that has given me many masters.
The constant noise in my mind
has finally grown quiet,
and at long last
I am able to hear the
delicate and quiet whisperings
of my own inner voice.
Now I follow my inner wisdom
and the subtle sound
of my own voice
without question,
knowing that only
it knows what is best for me
and will never lead me astray.
Once I finally stop
prioritizing what others think of me,
and what they expect of me,
I can finally get to the task
of finding what I truly want for myself.
