I Feel Powerful
An image kickstarts a brain reaction.
First a feeling takes form. An unkind sense
Prompted by now forgotten memories.
I feel open. My nature shared with all.
Openness. Connection is my reward.
Desire to belong and exchange fulfilled.
But chaos. Broken trust wounds. Hurt runs deep.
Belief in open nature unravelled.
Then. A choice. My choice. To feel it afresh.
My mindful will embraces kinder thoughts,
Replacing old learnings and taking charge
Of how I feel this. An image. Reframed.
I feel open. Conviction grows courage.
And courage breeds resolve to be myself.
Reboot me. Open, authentic and real.
Reconnected in trust and freshly wise
To the risk of breach, justly outweighed by
The community of joy, born this way.
I chose how to feel it. My choice. Made well.

I Feel Open
An image kickstarts a brain reaction.
First a feeling takes form. An unkind sense
Prompted by now forgotten memories.
I feel bold. Striving for self-confidence
And an ability to show success
Through fulfilled purpose. Yet personal pride
Is met with a judgement. Accusations
Of arrogance and pride, defeat self-worth.
Then. A choice. My choice. To feel it afresh.
My mindful will embraces kinder thoughts,
Replacing old learnings and taking charge
Of how I feel this. An image. Reframed.
I feel bold. Trying something new and fresh.
A desire to achieve and to conquer.
The target of my desire? Those whose cruel
Will is to dampen my pride and dilute
My sense of audacious accomplishment.
Effort breeds success. At last! I feel bold.
I chose how to feel it. My choice. Made well.

I Feel Fearful
An image kickstarts a brain reaction.
First a feeling takes form. An unkind sense
Prompted by now forgotten memories.
I feel fearful. Startled senses, disturbed
By a nano-thought., spew volcanic heat
That wells up to consume body, mind and
Finally spirit. Next paralysis.
Terror preferring frozen inaction.
Then. A choice. My choice. To feel it afresh.
My mindful will embraces kinder thoughts,
Replacing old learnings and taking charge
Of how I feel this. An image. Reframed.
I feel fearful. The nano-thought stifled
Before it breathes into life. Now replaced
With wilful opportunity which gains
Power, when injected with excitement,
Hope and desire for growth. Fear harnessed well
Now serves me. Aware and safe, I emerge
Magnificent and confident once more.
I chose how to feel it. My choice. Made well.
