You don’t need to become someone else to be happy…

You don’t need to become someone else to be happy…
Or be an actor traveling from theater to theater…
Or put a smiley, yellow sticker on your forehead…
Or dwell on the past, thinking it was so much better than now.

What if where you are now is the best?
That yours is a star filled, speckled sky…

How do I know?

Your friendly eyes tell me all of this…
When you smile, it is like the sun dancing on the water.

Change happens backstage…
The time of day when you can reflect and rest…
Breathing that awesome spirt into your lungs…
And pushing away all those unwanted feelings.

I’m sensing that you are thinking, “You are kidding, right…”
I’m not the kind for meditation, poems, and such…
I rely on the feelings in my gut, my natural instincts…
I answer, yes, but there is also another level.

Come, let’s explore a new place in your world…
Pull sorrow from every ruck and tuck…
Stay in the center of who you are…
The world needs the real you.

I love you,

Annie
