Your Own Hero 10/20/2022

No one
But you
Can be responsible
For your life.

So become
Your own hero
Tis’ easy
If you know how
And why.

Taking actions
When needed
And pausing
To breath.

Are common things
We must achieve
To bring peace
And harmony
Into existence.

As confusion arises
Causing you to flounder
Pausing to breath
Is the way
To feel grounded.

Into the stillness
We travel
Opening our hearts
In order to listen
To the subtle messages
Offered by
The hero hidden
Inside our core.

Be not afraid
To live fully
Feel courageous
And vulnerable
Knowing life’s
Impermanence
Is the greatest lesson
Of love
To experience.
