Now

I can't walk through life waiting for someone to do me a favor
Wake me up with a kiss, rescue me from a bad mother
Or slay dragons and witches for me.
My happily ever after won't be after I meet that illusive prince.

I let go of thoughts which makes me lesser than what I am and should be
I am not a slave to my emotions and the raging turns of my mind
Much as they are part of me, they are not me in totality.

Yea, I could be a princess who goes on hunting adventures
A queen who rules over her domain with wisdom.

I can be the imaginable.

I am the daughter who carries the jewel of her parents' hearts inside her
The sister who stands in the watchtower of the castle her family lives in
The friend who fights alongside her army of friends
The teacher who counsels in the courts of the budding minds of her children.

I am these and so much more.
I am not nothing.

I am she who is living.
Soaking up  and sowing love along her way
Waiting but not whining
Anticipating but not anxious.

I dare to dream , to take risks
I waver but won't sink easily
I rattle but there's an unfathomable silence within me.

I am a person myself
My time is now, it was never"will be",
I am alive now, I am living now.
