Creative Destiny
Such a curse,
Say many.
To be honest,
To be one who has discovered the person that is real,
Often, they suffer from being labeled as a stubborn narcissist.
But…
What if being authentically you
One who exercises encouraging thought
Is not deemed a negative. influence,
Nor an empty obsessive people-watching-observationist?
Consider creativity finding you…
The painter,
The choreographer,
The ballerina,
The conductor,
The composer,
The sculptor,
The author.
Freeing imagination is to seek the unimagined,
A need to understand
The many creative energies
Vying for creative attention.
But often…
Going through life
Fearful of expressing creative identity,
Risks becoming prey for predatory self-doubt.
Hear not the negative.
See not the critique from lesser hearts and minds.
Be not the runaway,
The fearful.
Be
What your inner voice,
Your inner spirit,
Your inner knowledge,
Knows you to be.
Follow your dream,
Not to be famous,
But to be genuine,
Regardless of the toll it might take.
Be prepared,
For by accident,
Fame might come your way,
Accompanied by its faithful nemesis,
A spotlight that remains blazing
With demands that may not be compatible
With your earned comfort zone.
Creative destiny
Remains a dedication
To the healthy self-love of
Your imagination,
Your validation.
I hope they read and understand. All of those seeking something they will never find.

Being genuine presupposes self-knowledge, which depends on discovering self in self rather than through the looking glass of other people's perceptions. Lots to ponder and a great way to slow down for a quiet, contemplative weekend. Blessings!
