For many of us,
We have developed our way of coping in the world,
We have taken on certain characteristics and behaviours,
So that we can manage, to fit into our lives.
It is a human survival, protection,
That enables us to deal with certain situations,
And show the people around us,
That we are capable.
We take on beliefs as children,
And bit by bit,
The shield of protection manifests,
Itself around us.
We have to see our dance,
Our avoidance of our emotional self,
Let the shield of protection crumble,
And allow ourselves to feel vulnerable.
We have to let go the control,
And trust and know it is ok,
To accept help and support,
And know we are capable in who we are,
With or without the control.
Be open in the flow of our lives,
Let go the need to feel responsible for another’s perception,
To live in support and love,
Of all that we are.
