I’m an idealist

I know it hasn’t always been this way 

Sometime, somewhere, some place

We have lived in peace and harmony 

And it helps me carry on another day 

I believe we are on the road 

To living this, making it happen 

So many changes

I never thought I had any friends 

Now I love myself enough to know 

It will never be that way again 

I get so fed up

When I get caught up judging myself by society’s standards 

All the beliefs I’ve picked up on the way 

It’s wrong to be overweight, gay, to age

I should be working full time with kids and a mortgage 

I question why 

Do I have to unlearn almost everything I’ve ever known

Writing things to let go of and 

Burn 

Practicing forgiveness and gratitude helps me to continue 

Creating a new life 

Creating a new world 

Consciously evolving 

Or so I’ve been told 

It resonates with me 

Makes me feel tingly

Feels like the truth  

The lies I let go of 

Create tension 

I loosen there grip

Reverence for nature 

Is key 

I ground myself with the trees 

They share their wisdom  with me 

They call me to take there former limbs 

Embellish them with crystals 

Sharing the love  

It makes me happy 

Reminds us we are all so powerful 

Our thoughts create our reality

Magic is all around 

We may have been taught otherwise 

Heal the wounded inner child inside 

And play, and pray, and know

Joy and unity is here 

And more is on its way
