THE ROSE GARDEN




So many times in my life,
I apologized for taking up space and time
I apologized for taking care of me,
and getting myself out of harm’s way.

I felt the pressure of others very acutely,
and always succombed to it, one way or another.
But now I’m done with the guilt.

I don’t need to apologize for doing what is right for me,
when others refuse to accept my true self.
So stop apologizing, dear one.

There is a time and a place for everything,
but where is the evil in carving out your own path?
I’m done with sitting on the side line,
and saying sorry for moving two steps away from it,
while others are running freely,
following their heart.

I’m done with people trampling all over me,
in an attempt to get what they want.
I’m a person too, with rights, feelings, dreams and plans,
and I have as much right to exist as anyone else.
I left all my bags behind, and now I’m on a journey.
Where I will go, where it will end,
Love only knows.

But I’m walking, running, dancing
and I will dodge anyone who tries to make me trip
on the path to my heart.
