I choose so

I stay positive..
I choose so
cause I know that
even if my mind attacks
all my truths stay intact,
my spirit won't turn back

And even if my pain slides in
I remember this strength within
This gift of authenticity,
these moments of pure clarity

God lives in me..

Trust

That feeling in my gut
That strong and steady thought
in midst of all the other thoughts

That is trust..

That calming voice
in the other
those benovelent words
spoken by my brother

That is trust..

These tears released
on her pillow
That gentle touch
weakening my sorrow

That is trust..

In this parade of invalidation
I get to have a choice
I get to have a voice
Have the right to remember
and thereby surrender
to the value I hold within

..in that I trust

For the sake of my truth

I trust
that I will be alright
that I am good
no matter what my pain
paints in my soul

I have so many colours
that I can use
to enhance
and complete the portrait
in order to serve my truth

...for the sake of my truth
