Here’s my first spoken word poem about partnership. (more to come soon)
May this help you see that relationship is indeed a path to your own transformation and fulfillment.
There’s a natural song in your heart.
And there’s a song in mine.
When you partner with someone and you don’t play that song,
they get pissed.
Have you noticed this?
They react.
Because you’re mirroring back their limitations
Where they have the same issue.
Get a tissue
And see the gift going both ways
Come out of your haze
and let their anger remind you’re playing small
From behind your wall
Hear their call…
Forward
Let their activation be your motivation
Let their trigger help you get bigger
Let your trigger be like a daily bell
That helps you wake up from a lifetime of sleepy patterning.
Your partner is merely a bell carrier
Ringing that bell so you can find your voice,
and sing your song.
So, stop making them wrong
And start seeing their way as a light beckoning you home.
As long as you make them the reason
You won’t sing your song
You’ve lost the battle.
You remain trapped, a helpless victim,
unmet and alone
Refusing your throne
Relegated to the basement,
Dissociated and disconnected from your God-given birthright
to claim your heart’s home.
Overturn that stone
And see the smashed flower
As you give away your power
With this statement:
“I can’t be me because of you.”
Close your eyes and feel the impact of that.
See how you lose your voice in this choice?
And as you lay there giving your power away
yet another day,
Ask yourself if you want it to stay this way?
Perhaps this is the final hour
Of giving them your power
Perhaps it’s the final hour
of making them wrong
For your unwillingness to sing your song
Stop
Open your eyes
And rise
From the inside
And see
There’s another way to be free
Start to reframe
Use I statements when you blame
And create a whole new game
Where i get to be me
And you get to be you
Through and through
It’s true.
It’s okay to be scared, shakey, and afraid
That’s how you were made.
Allow yourself to wobble and shake
And take
Your turn
And feel the burn.
Because every time you are triggered by them
it’s an opportunity to learn
And earn
And grow
And glow
So blow
On those embers inside.
Don’t hide
You’re alive.
Because a partnership
Can be the greatest ship
It’s hip
It’s a trip
They’ll crack the whip
And you’ll flip.
You may as well grab your baggage
And set your sail
Because, it’s impossible to fail
At being you.
Hell, you’re exquisite,
magnificent
Beautiful
Powerful
Wonderful
Indestructible.
And yes
loveable.
This whole partnership thing?
It’s not tragic
It’s magic
Your wing is not clipped,
that’s a trick.
You’re not broken,
that’s a token
For connection.
Feel the correction
And stand up
And stand in yourself
Take your issues off the shelf
It’s time you dealt
They wanna be felt
Watch the pain melt.
Stop running and hiding
Start dealing, facing
and thriving.
There’s no need to scream
We’re on the same team
We both just want to feel seen.
I want you to do the math
And consider…
That Relationship is a Path.
You no longer need to feel alone
Because a partnership can be a HOME.
It’s okay if you’re feeling shy
It’s okay if you wanna cry
I just want you to try.
Why?
Because it takes two wings in order to fly.
