#1. Poem: Goodbye to the Old
It may be very difficult to say goodbye to the old,
“Just be happy with what you have,” we may be told.
So I wanted to stay in my comfort zone: my safe place,
But I found myself stuck in a rut, this was my case.
I was reluctant to let go of the familiar and the known,
I was scared to take risks, I was scared to the core.
Now I appreciate what I have, but I’m eager for more,
Even if it means that I may need to face the unknown.
Things come and go, the only constant in life is change,
I like comfort, but sometimes things need to be rearranged.
I don’t want stagnation, I don’t want to feel dead when I’m alive,
I say goodbye to the old and the familiar, I choose a vibrant life.
#2. Poem: Hello to the New
It took me so long to take this step, to welcome the new,
I knew I wanted a change, but I didn’t know what to do.
Then one day, it was not an option anymore, it was a must,
So I took the leap, I was scared but I made the decision to trust.
Eventually I replaced fear with courage and doubt with faith,
I knew that whatever was going to happen, I would be ok.
Now I know that life is too short to stay stuck in the wrong place,
The cost of wasted time is high: it makes tears run down my face.
But I made it, I made the most important choice despite my fears,
Now there’s so much joy in my heart, which also gives me tears.
It’s not always easy to step into the unknown and start a new life,
But when I choose to feel my fear and do it anyway, I feel alive.
#3. Poem: Freedom
Freedom is not my luxury, freedom is not my whim,
Freedom is my natural state of being, it’s my own skin.
I’m not a slave in this world: I fooled myself for too long,
Now one thing is obvious: freedom is where I belong.
I thought it was fine to be at war with myself,
I did as I was told, soon I found myself in hell.
I didn’t see how much it cost me: it wasn’t free at all,
The price was too high, I thought I was going to fall.
Freedom is my birthright, every minute of my day,
This is non-negotiable, freedom is the only way.
Your freedom is my freedom, I see myself in you,
My freedom is your freedom, it’s always been true!
#4. Poem: Compassion
When I try to understand you, I get to better understand myself.
I can see what blocks me, what stops me, what creates my hell.
I can see what puts me in my own prison, this is not your fault,
I see you’re a different me and you show me what I do by default.
This is my projection: if I choose to blame you, this is my blame.
Your joy is my joy, your anger is my anger, your pain is my pain.
I see myself in you, in your eyes I see my own eyes,
You’re a different me. Seeing the truth, my heart cries.
We’re all interconnected. We’re not separate, isolated entities.
We can see what we truly are if we go beyond our fixed identities.
Trying to put myself in your shoes is not a waste of time,
It’s the end of all problems, everything is good, everything is fine.
#5 Poem: Love
Love used to be hidden under millions of my thoughts:
Since I put them aside, I haven’t suffered any loss.
Everything around me feels so calm and peaceful,
I’m feeling safe, protected, joyful and blissful.
I said goodbye to my misconceptions and illusions,
What I thought was real love gave me lots of confusion.
Whether I am with people or I am on my own,
I can feel unlimited love in every single bone.
Love is all around me, I can feel it everywhere,
Love is the sky, flowers, animals and my old chair.
Love is all there is and love is all you need,
Whoever doubted that, eventually agreed.
Thank you, may freedom, love, and compassion be with you!
