Adhere to Being Me

Of all the things I thought I had to be,

It was easier and most rewarding 

To adhere to being me. 

It risked the tide of arguments that could arise

But it was peaceful to remain honest with myself. 

I knew that listening and conforming would end up being my demise. 

I walked on my own but I wasn't alone;

For I was united with what surrounded me. 

I was in love with following what isn’t easily understood or shown. 

The wonder of life continuously unfurled,

Heightening my curiosity and trust. 

The challenges demanded patience as it gave my senses a whirl.

Of all the things I imagine wanting to be,

I choose what calls to my mind and heart.

Always remembering to adhere to being me 

Everyone has a list of things they think they should be and as much as we think that it is the right way, we forget to make sure that it aligns with who we are. It is easier, more natural and rewarding to be ourselves. 

As risky as it feels to go my own way and stir disapproval, I am at peace when I remain honest. I know that following others blindly and conforming myself will take away from who I am. I walk on my own to be myself but I'm never alone. I know that I'm always united with what surrounds me. Feeling a connection every time I follow my way is my motivation to love experiencing my difference. Every experience shows me the wonder of life and how it unfolds. I am safe to be curious and trust in what is happening. I know I must be patient and persist in believing when my chaotic senses challenge me. Despite all the things I could wish to be, I choose to listen for what calls to my mind and heart. I know that I am meant to be myself and I make the effort to always align with my true self.
