does not mean that I don't have the answers
I just choose to let you speak for a while,
Because listening is as important as asserting.
No, involving in a multitude of things
does not mean lack of focus.
I just choose to explore,
Because mastery alone is not holistic.
No, staying close to the ground
does not mean I don't want to fly.
I just choose to prepare well for the take-off,
Because strong wings alone can keep me soaring.
No, taking every opportunity to try something new
does not imply being undecided.
I just choose to be alive to the possibilities,
Because you never know what lies beyond, unless you tried.
No, differences
do not mean we cannot shine together.
I just choose to invite them,
Because angles, not parallels, create sparkle.
No, shedding a tear
does not mean I don't want to laugh again.
I just choose to acknowledge my pain,
Because acceptance empowers me to overcome.
No, tired,
I will never be, however much hammered.
I just choose to keep coming back,
Because they alone, are placed on the anvil, who can take the blow.
