You have got to be you.
And when you are scared shitless
and the world is caving in
telling you
you are not enough
You have got to be you.
There is no one else.
And this is something
only you
Not your mother
Or your father
Or your best friend
Or anyone else
Can give you.
You have got to be you.
Because if you aren’t
You will return to your God
Or your Goddess
Or the great mother
Or the darkness from which you came
And this is all
This is all
That will be left
So promise me.
You will find
In your own unique way
A way.
Your way.
That you will
Leave your mark.
You must
Leave your mark.

I LIKE!!
Very nice.
@Fabeku – Yes, yes, yes. A thousand times yes.
@Shawn – So glad to have you here; welcome. Love the caps!
Holy. Crap. Thanks for posting this! Sometimes I have those days where I’m just fed up or confused or lost or angry (I can keep this list going)…
So this – all of this – needs to be posted on my wall or something.
@Bianca – We ALL have those days and this post is as much for me as it is for you. Take it – post it wherever you like. Once it’s out and no longer making me crazy (on the inside)- it’s yours. Love, love that you’re here.
Don’t tell me you’re a DMB fan…please don’t…
My first true love was Dave in concert…had to go back 5 more times. My favorite artist of all time.
The poetry is beautiful.
I must.
He’s been with me a long time. A very long time.
I would have given anything to be in Central park on that warm September night back in ’03.
