When you speak up about issues
That most people can’t stomach
You should be prepared
Be prepared to be mocked
Be prepared to be criticized
Ridiculed and ‘hated’
Be prepared for people’s projections
Be prepared to be made ‘wrong’
Be prepared to have
Your heart broken
Be prepared to feel like
You wanna give up
But Also
Be prepared to feel connected
To the heart of God
Be prepared to have
A Life force flowing through you
That is so grounded
So deeply rooted
That absolutely nothing can
Alter your Spirit, at least not
For very long
Be prepared to have passion
Coursing through your veins
Even while you sleep
Be prepared to know
That you are literally
Never alone
You came here for a reason
You came with a deep calling
A purpose, a passion, a ‘why’
You came with a voice
You came with a message
That only you—yes you—can share
In the way that someone else needs to hear
There is a battle going on
On this Earth
I don’t like to use the word battle
But that’s what it is
It’s a battle for your consciousness
A battle for your human-ness
I don’t even think it’s a stretch
To say it’s a battle for your Soul
If you know what I’m talking about
Start speaking, start writing
Start meditating more
Start tapping in
Do it daily
Start drawing, start creating
In whatever way feels true
And aligned for you
Whatever your path may be
Start embodying who you are
Start knowing—versus guessing—why you came
It’s time to remember
To our collective growth,
