Experiential Growth
Christopher Stigall 1983 (NM)
Honestly, when asking for an intervention
Is that what occurs if it happens?
Transmuting the belief I don't deserve visibility, I expose me.
Inherently, I've known existence means something infinitely more expansive than the parts of me that have been seen.
Truthfully, I'm exhausted, and have been shouting it from the rooftops.
Tragically, I have infinite possibilities opening up before me as I'm suffocating.
Yet Magically I stand within this vulnerability, fearing the transparency to make it reality!
Willing and able, maybe mentally unstable
I'm killing the idea that I'm not good enough
Aroused by the vision of proving myself wrong.
I will prove myself wrong.
Watch me and join me in the unconditional
Starting at ground zero in this rebuilding
Discarding the ego and dancing with my song
Departing to everywhere I've been drumming all along
I'm sorry, did I not embrace this skin and the demons within?
I've danced in the shadows for way too long
I've bathed in the moonlight of all I've done wrong
staring into the looking glass with poetic malcontent
Lack of action, Unacceptable
showing up radically
for my family and Humanity
Me needing me, not in some narcissistic degree
Exposing that I can only reprogram
By showing up for my own self first
And I need humanity to help me break through this conditioning
So that I can finally, honestly, and openly share all of me
I can stop judging myself
For the harsh reality that I may never leave this bottle behind me completely
The f*ck is it supposed to be
If I can't share this part of me because I lack some spirits to help balance my otherwise incapability of embodying the divinity that flows through me
Pieces that cant be seen
Until externally, my tumultuous history destroys the victim mentality
That's spent so much time with me
Setting my spirit free through unconditional love and transparency.
