Hesitate before you

Walk

Breathe in -

- Breathe out

(PAUSE)

Make sure you

Like you

Before

You

Wonder

If they

Like you-

Hesitate before you

Speak-

Worried about the

Insecurity,

Or am I merely

Speaking of meโ€ฆ

I Just Breathe-

With a Chipped or Broken Tooth-

and a Blissful look in my eyesโ€ฆ

-I'm

Releasing all my insecurities,

Because I'm Real.

I struggled with seeing the vision

From my third

Eye ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

Currently, I Realize-

What I should have

Been Received.

By Ishan @seefromthesky on Unsplash

From My Smile, down to my Pride ๐ŸŒˆ

-It All

Lives within me,

Just Breathe-

Change my primary,

And Develop,

Elevation,

From Good Energy ๐Ÿ”‹,

I contain Proper preparation!
