What it took to get to me.
It took me remembering that not everyone is for me and I am not for everyone,

To get to me.

It took me accepting that even though my parents tried hard, they still failed me,

To get to me.

It took me standing up for myself,

To get to me.

It took me forgiving my childhood hurt,

To get to me

It took me facing my inner evil to face it in The World,

To get to me.

It took me releasing the burden of needing to think of others in a negative light,

To get to me.

It took me embracing my inner divinity,

To get to me.

It took me understanding that I cannot speak from a place of shallowness. I only want to speak from depth and understanding,

To get to me.

It took me letting go of the need to punish myself and guilt myself into perfection,

To get to me.

It took me releasing people in my life who want to punish me and guilt me into who they want me to be,

To get to me.

It took me understanding that stillness is the ultimate remedy,

To get to me.
