It is hard sometimes,
to rise above it –
the fear
the hate
the things we covet
my own light dims
when anger rages –
the news
the trauma
locking kids in cages
No! Not me!
I will not fall victim –
to bullies
or monsters
I will cling to wisdom
no platform bully
nor energy vampire
can harden
or darken
my light which transpires
It is hard sometimes,
to rise above it –
the fear
the hate
the things we covet
but I will rise
on wings of doves
fighting fear
and hate
with nothing but love

Reblogged this on Notes and commented:
just re-read 3 times what she wrote and the more I read, it went deeper and deeper. Just via words she can make someone feel so deep, imagine how deep is her soul actually. Beautiful beyond words.

Yes, you should! Pinterest brings me 90% of my views. People love quotes! I may make one and put your name on it as the author and when I do, I will send it to you. I am always looking for good quotes to put on tailwind, so whenever you make any send them to me and I will share.
