She Takes Risks

She Takes Risks

For happiness
Unearthing what she is holding on to
Realising fears that are not her own
Letting go of what she does not need
Making room for joy

The happier she is
The less she needs

The less she needs
The more room there is for happiness

It is not as easy as it sounds
To excavate her joy
To release fears that are not hers
To understand those that are
Then let go
Takes courage
Takes deep reflection

She has to remember
She has to accept
She has to take risks

For she lives in this world
Not in the yesterday
Not in the tomorrow
She has to live in today

Oh, deep in her heart she wants to make the best of it
Oh, deep in her soul she wants to be in love
Oh, deep in her mind she wants happiness

But
In order to decide what that is
She needs to get rid of the distractions
Remember what makes her happy
Find new joy
Explore new avenues
Seek new adventures
She needs to takes risks

Surrounded by what she is told
She must have
She must do
She must become

Gathering her courage
Gathering her thoughts
Gathering only that which she needs

She lets go of all that no longer serves her
Her home?
Her country?
Her way of life?
Her judgment?
Her perceptions?
Her conditioning?
What does she have?

Freedom
Freedom to think
Freedom to move
Freedom to start again
Freedom to learn
Freedom to create
All that she desires

Really
Truly
Simply

She becomes a pioneer of discovery
She takes risks
