Things that you love

Things that you love - by Charlotte Riley, Being Truly Me

 holding on tight
 afraid to let go
 afraid of the void
 if you start to say no
  
 to the things in your life
 that clutter your head
 that crowd your vision
 that fill you with dread
  
 to the things in your life
 that dampen your spark
 that silence your voice
 that keep you in the dark 
  
 be brave and say no
 to the things in your life 
 that don’t fill your heart
 where your energy doesn’t flow 
  
 don’t fill the void
 although it is tempting
 with stuff and things 
 that before left you empty
  
 instead let it breathe
 leave it to be
 it will flourish 
 and maybe, just maybe
  
 with a head, less cluttered 
 your vision clear
 things that you love 
 will begin to appear
  
 things that you love
 will come to the for
 your talents and gifts
 to be yourself once more 
  
 to make your mark
 doing what you love 
 things that have meaning
 and not the above
