Be Unbothered

Oh no,

I’m so sorry;

There was spinach in your teeth in the company photo

You didn’t get an invite…and everyone else did

No one bought a ticket to your show

The “special” person you told friends about didn’t work out

They hired someone else

They didn’t like your poem

No one saved you a seat

You can’t seem to let go

of the time

you fell down

in front of Everyone.

It’s a rope on your ankle

Holding you back

from trying

Again

Because…

They’ll see you trying

Again.

And

What if it happens

again?

What if things go wrong?

They’ll see

And judge

And know

you’re not perfect

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

But wait

Maybe they’re not looking.

Maybe they don’t even think

about

That time you sucked,

At that thing you did.

But wait,

Maybe they are looking

And they do

think about it.

Maybe their entire life is

Focused

on watching

What other people do.

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

How sad for them

To have no sense

of self

Without judgement

Of others

And their efforts

Friend,

Let that shit go

And do the things

that make you happy.

Do them badly,

do them half-assed,

if that’s how they are available

To you.

Take some pressure off

Of yourself

and

I believe the world needs more women who know and trust themselves.

This is how cultures begin to change.

Perhaps this is where you become an active part of creating the ecosystem.

Forging Intentional Belonging
