Truth be told

I’ve died so many times while living; I’ve lost count
Sometimes I don’t know what remains of me, but I’m not in doubt
That empty promises and misery are only for the profane
My power lies in my strength to reclaim my sovereignty and reign
A kingdom of my own making, a mind with no limits
Witnessing the inner critic and ignoring these bigots
Whenever fear creeps in, I open my heart and listen
I’m here to break paradigms and no need for your permission
All and all, it’s been a hell of a ride, and I regret nothing
For my mind is still intact, I transmute negative self-talk and judging
Clairsentient, a blessing to some, and a curse for me
Seeing beyond the present makes me a true devotee
Past and future, infinite years of different timelines
My redemption lately only lies in all my rhymed lines
Thankfully, they dare no more because they now know the consequences
Of weaknesses, low frequencies that at best lead to grievances
So ask me what love is, and today I’ll tell you this
What you resist persists; learn to drop all conflicts

Words feed my soul, ground my spirit, and elevate me all at the same time.
