You were never born
to become someone else
you came here
to remember
your soul already knew the way
you are not here
to earn your place in the world
you are here
to stand in it so completely
that your very presence
becomes permission
for others to do the same
the stars do not ask
if they are worthy of shining
the moon does not apologize
for moving the oceans
the sun does not hesitate
before awakening the dawn
and neither should you
you are not here
to earn your place among the heavens
you are here
because you were born
from the same ancient light
remove the masks
that were never your face
release the shadows
you carried to be accepted
lay down the weight
of becoming someone worthy
for you have always been
stand where your spirit stands
speak the language
your soul whispered before time
walk the path
that only your footsteps can awaken
for the moment you stop abandoning yourself
the universe remembers you
the doors you thought were locked
begin to open
the stars you thought were distant
begin to answer
you were never reaching for the divine
you were the divine
learning to recognize itself
so unfold
rise
burn with the quiet power
of a star that never doubted its own flame
let your light unfold
like a galaxy remembering its shape
do not chase the heavens
reveal the heaven
that has always lived within you
you are not a visitor
in this universe
you are one of its sacred expressions
shine as you were created to shine
remember who you are
and the universe will move
to meet you there
