Words to Live By: Warrior's Reminder

I am awake
My mind is free
I am Creative
I love Myself
My willpower is strong
I am Brave
I practice patience
I don't judge folks
I give, not to receive
I don't expect
I accept
I listen more than I talk
I know I'll change
I know you'll change
I'll hold on one more day
I start over when necessary
I create My own situations
I am cosmic
I don't have the answers
I desire to learn
I am the plan
I am strong
I am weak
I want to grow

I know I will

I take on responsibility

I hide myself from no one

I'm on My path
Warriors walk alone
I won't let my focus change

Taking out the demons in My range

that's mama's gun

~ Erykah Badu

Many of you may remember this poem from the cd insert for Mama's Gun. I love its profound simplicity.
