Leaps & Bounds

it is what it is

To bathe in the truth, is to bathe in the light, 

Played on a loop, as the brave in the night,

Shatter from the fall, and after it all,

Realize the result wasn't the purpose of my call,

It was the journey along the way that uplifted me,

We are in love with the mystery, the wish to be,

In stillness, while the world dances to our song,

I'm selfish to love myself is that so wrong? 

I'm selfless enough to love my surroundings,

Go above my profound dreams and go around things, 

Unless I need to go through em, at least I know what I'm doing, 

At least I got a chance, empowered for what most aren't pursuing, 

At the end of the moment showing up for the next,

Showing up for your life, and taking our next breath.

Author's Note

Just a poem I wrote on a Monday before I started the job I quit, 3 days later not by my choice, they challenged me more, and I was the top person at this job, and I took another job, and made them give me severance, I was a target for them as a unique individual and I became a Vice President and work from home now as a equivalent partner at my job. And I love what I do, but I showed up for my life, and made others do the same, by inspiring the fact, you can just take what you deserve in this life, as long as you don't act self-righteous, entitled, or victimized you can just go show up for your life!

Very nice movement of words.
"To bathe in the truth, is to bathe in the light,
Played on a loop, as the brave in the night,
Shatter from the fall, and after it all,
Realize the result wasn't the purpose of my call,"
I liked the above lines. They danced into a perfect meaning. Thank you for sharing the amazing words and thoughts.
