The Journey Inward

What infects the child,
Affects the adult.
Messages received
Deliver a jolt.

Born into wholeness,
We slowly are told
Brokenness exists-
Our confidence folds.

Our essence is pure,
Souls perfect and true,
The world gets to us,
And changes our view.

But listen, Dear Child,
Grown as you may be,
You have all that you need,
Self love is your key.

The world needs your voice,
Your perspective, too.
You've been invited,
So show up as YOU!
