All too often
too many individuals
and circumstances conspire
inadequate
we apply the senseless language
such as stupid to refer
to ourselves and others
We have accepted
the erronous notion
that there is a
glass ceiling and we cannot
break through
well I’m here to remind
you that that idea
is someone’s made-up trick
to keep you bending down
to keep you in a tight space
The world is large
and despite what you might
be presently experiencing
there is a great deal of wealth
and abundance
you just have to claim your share
you must speak your word
you must affirm
that you deserve
and you must live
from a place of endless supply
You’ve got it
so don’t wait anymore
don’t postpone your dream
any longer
claim it
it’s waiting for you
Put on some eye protector
and shatter than ceiling
(beside it doesn’t really
exist except in your mind
which has given it form and shape).
You’ve got this
the life you have tucked
it has sprouted
and its roots are
strong and sure
