Hang on!
Hold up!
You shall NOT, world, hold me…down.
From achieving:
My dreams.
My goals.
You shall NOT, fear, hold me…hostage.
I am free.
Of you.
From you.
Set free, indeed, by He, Who has set me free. Which leaves me free, indeed.
You shall NOT, Cassandra, hold me…up.
I, your dreams, have awakened you, from your slumber.
We are free from:
The world.
Fear and ALL of it’s ilk.
We are now free to:
Live, loudly.
Love, unapologetically.
Laugh, joyfully.
Maneuver, skillfully.
Meander, endlessly.
Hope, wildly.
Pray, without ceasing.
Never, again, Cassandra, shall we EVER utter the words ‘It is what it is’. This is but the world’s gaslighting of things.
It ain’t how it is or how it ought be!
What are we gonna do bout this world hatin’ on us, Cassandra, my dreams asked me?
Nuttin, I said back. We ain’t got time for world foolishness and lies. We all about being about being about it.
Hang on, world, go on head and get gone!
Hold up, fear, go on head and take two seats, a hard left back to the hell you were sent from, and a hard right up into this right cross, meaning The Cross, from which my Blessed Savior, hung.
I am DONE world, fear, and ALL your friends. DONE with you. I shall deal with you and fight you wherever, however and whenever you show your cowardly faces.
You only show when you think I am too tired, too sick, too disappointed, too discouraged, too hot, too broke, too this, that and the other thang.
Ha!
You better ask somebody!!
You shall NOT hold me, world.
holding the world in the palm of my hand,
Cassandra aka Sweetpea
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Sometimes, you have to tell the world where to get off and park it! Be relentless, beloveds. Keep going. You CAN. You WILL!
One step.
One step.
One step.
Remember:
You are loved.
You are not alone.
Keep on being…YOU.
I love me some you.
