Have U Ever Danced with Demons to Reclaim Your Soul??

That's the path to finding your way home

As I sit for a minute,
pen in hand;
thoughts swirl with contentment
& joy as realization sets in 
that I am healing.

I've been on this journey,
many lifetimes already;
but today I see, feel, taste, smell, & hear progress
beyond what I imagined possible
 even just a short time ago.

I have always known
I came to earth to help others, to heal others;
but confusion takes hold
when U finally figure out-
U cannot do for others what U cannot achieve for your own.

How can U do a job when your toolbox is empty?? Or the Blueprints smudged, torn in a complete state of disrepair??
This is when U go back to the beginning and start from scratch.

I tore my chest wide open, baring my Heart & Soul,
then crawled inside
the darkness pulling the doors shut behind me.
I danced with the shadows & demons I found within
til I started to learn from them how, where to find my light.
So began my clawing back up out the gutters,
all the while breathing at a whisper, trying
to remain outta sight.

I've lost and found myself along
this path, so many times I've lost count,
but here I am again,
standing tall this time,
Crown readjusted to straight,
eyes set on the prize
as I see all my Blessings, I begin to Rise,
Outta the ashes & the depths of hell;
2024 is the Year of the Phoenix & it's Our Time to Shine!!
