stop pretending

say what you want to say. do what you want to do. really do it. and have the fucking courage to take responsibility for the consequences.

and then enjoy a toast. to the new you.

which you might find, you were just waiting for your chance all along. you've been ready all along. you were barking up the wrong tree is all. you tried to pass your future off to someone else. you were hoping for someone else to validate you, stamp your passport and send you on your way.

it's all you. it's on you. so have the courage to create. fall on your face and get back up. stop numbing your self. stop pretending, stop avoiding. jump into that fear with your boxing gloves on and create a home for yourself. one that is not bound by location or geography. one that radiates from inside you and is always rooting for you.

might think what a selfish route. that's just an excuse. it's bullshit. you are the most selfless when you put your own oxygen mask on first. how then were you to assist others to breathe as freely as you do?

so cheers to punking the fear
side swiping that ticker tape of doubt
a toast to being a little more present
to you and i as we shout out an exhale
spoon feed a tear
clean ourselves up
put a little water in our cups
and bust a cap up in this bitch
and take that fucking risk
open the door
and walk through it
stop being such a pussy
stop making yourself crazy
invest in your own toes
see a light coming out of your chest
shake that ass
rock the boat
leave that little nest
fuck this comforting batch
and have a little more faith
take your own bait
cause you my friend, are a very good catch
