Our deepest fear is not that we're inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It is not just some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Leave Me Be

Secretive.
                 Private.
                                Quiet.
                                            Alone.

I keep my life a secret. Important and meaningful things that happen—they are left for me to share. But chances are I will not share.
I am very private. My feelings are for me only; my thoughts are for me only. My experiences are left for me to ponder. Push me enough and I might break and spill, but chances are I will not share.
I keep my voice quiet, for very few to hear. My opinion is my own; my voice is too small to be heard, not that I mind. My words are left for me to speak up when needed; when important. But chances are I will go unheard.
I am alone in many ways, though I am not. I prefer the time for me to think-- to keep my secrets free of questioning. I am surrounded by those who love me, but I remain alone. I do speak to some when in times of need. But chances are I am on my own.

So leave me be and I may come, but chances are it will take a while. My trust is hard to earn from most, and once it's broken it's lost for good. My walls will break down, when it comes time, but until then do not pry.

Sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship we hail, we sing,
It's always pleasant when you spot it.
There's only one unhappy thing:
You have to lose to prove you've got it.
