Wildfire

We all have those days where we just don’t want to wake up.
Where even the air in the room holds you down
And there are days where you beg the universe for any hint of a sign, just something to let you know that you’re even remotely close to the right path.
The kind of days where you doubt who you are, and where you are, or where you’re even going.
You anxiously retrace all your steps wondering where the hell you went wrong.
And where was the place all those lines became blurred and the road forked like a serpent's tongue convincing you that you didn’t even know yourself, from Adam?
Was it there that you split off on to the wrong course?
Had you taken the other road you’d likely be in much better shape, right?
Or better yet, maybe the world wouldn’t have fallen apart like it has.
Maybe all the right pieces would have been in all the right places.
And maybe you would have found yourself instead of losing your hope like an old love note you kept locked inside a dust-covered box under the floorboards.
Yeah, that sounds pretty good right about now.
We could all use a little faith in ourselves.
We deserve that, don’t we? Don’t we?
See, don't we deserve that?
Don’t we deserve to open our eyes and rejoice in the mere fact that we’re alive?
And that we woke up here?
Or that we can marvel in our existence. Isn’t that good enough? Or is that too much to ask for?
Because I’m starting to get confused by this all, this whole rat race.
You know where we’re chasing other people’s dreams and comparing the wonder of what makes us, us.
Can you believe that?
Let me tell you, I’ve stared into the dark and I’ve watched its lonely eyes look right back at me, and I won’t lie to you, they pierce the soul no less than a sharp knife on a fresh piece of flesh.
And it whispers into your ears into the silent of the night just hoping that for a second you’ll forget what it is you are.
So hear me, my friends.
Don’t listen!
It’s a trap to think that you are not the infinite.
It is a tragedy to believe even for a second that you are not the culmination of each incredibly, improbable moment that led to your existence.
You heard me right!
And those scars you carry, well those are yours.
So wear them with honor, like badges you’ve collected along your way.
Place them over your heart one by one for all to see.
And stand up straight
Hold your head up high,
And don’t you even think of wasting any more of your precious moments looking down on yourself.
Wake up!
You deserve that!
You are human.
You’re alive!
Wake up!
You’re a wildfire!
Burn bright, burn bright, burn bright!

I listen to this everyday, to tell myself it's ok, it's going to be ok, and to keep going. Be myself, someone someday will be there beside me. Thank you man.

[AnneMcKinty]

And those scars you carry, those are yours!

[nicolecodbrajoe]

❤Thanks to my dear friend for sharing this to me❤🎉

[Gatorfreak]

Good vibes after being diagnosed with cancer thank you kind sir. Thank you.

[mallenjm]

If scars could tell stories without uttering a single syllable..Then all of humanity would be as kind comforting an soothing as this beautiful peice of art that you have created.
If only.. for it would burn away all the dross from our weary souls and with childlike faith the entire universe would break out into a song of redemption. As our spirits soared the golden skies in utter freedom~

I was there at your recent concert in Sacramento, you spoke this beautiful touching poem called Wildfire- it touched me so deep inside, I sat and cried tears of sadness yet felt so alive. Your words gave me hope and forgiveness. You speak so true from your heart, it felt like you were speaking right into my soul. You have an amazing gift, thank you so much for sharing it with us.

I came alone, and wished I would have spoken up when you asked the crowd who has been married a long time? My wife and I just passed 44 years married. Our secret to staying together? Always come from the side of understanding rather than blaming, and always show love thru forgiveness.

I am sure that you are helping so many people learn to understand and forgive. God bless, Ty

My heart feels this to it’s very core. I’m setting off onto a different path. I’ve left my fire hid for far too long.

[AD_Saffa_HD]

I wish there was a way to make everyone on planet earth listen to this and appreciate it, it is deep and powerful and this could be the cure of depression! Beautiful! ❤️

[FallenDreamsCas]

I hope she hears this one day and believes in herself one day. Even though we parted, I never regret knowing her. She will always be that wildfire. 🙃✨
