Embrace your authenticity, to give something more.

Because it isn’t possible my friend

To give one hundred percent.

For that is just a number

An expectational requirement…..stuck in your head

And who judges that anyway?

That is just a notion

A lie to be subscribed to

Arbitrary notion, expectant requirement

Pressure, from uncaring sources.

When all that matters, truly

Is to act with heart intentions

from somewhere close to your soul

To do your best with what you have

And who you are.

To be upon the stage of the world

Raw, uncomplicated you.

Yes you might get pot shots

Yes, the crowd may boo

But when you give with loving kindness

They’re misunderstanding you.

You can’t be liked and also love

In cultures cruel and systems tough

Where 100% is barest minimum,

and exhaustion on the cards

And Mindfulness a way of coping

with unnecessary harm.

So act with love, and walk with power

Decide your action, with intention

And grace the stage with higher calling

Fail at giving 100%, because you can

To give your joy, smile and sparkle instead,

For thats worth more than figures in their head.
