What Is True

By Sheena Dennise

Catalyzing to depths unknown to many

Come with this presence and

There can be no pretense, no makeup

To make up for what is true

That my existence gently motivates you

Rouses a desire within your soul

To explore and discover your own road

The one that feels like you’re flying

Turning somersaults in your belly

Without warning

Instigating wild bouts of laughter

And rivers of ego-cleansing tears

From heart-searching queries

Expressed and expelled in eye wata

Wonderment and self-questioning

What is true: We cannot avoid the truth

Rollercoaster highs and valley lows

The pursuit of living actual life

Remembering what it means to choose

The oft taken for granted privilege of choice

Recalling the excitement of choice

Of what it means to use your mind

To harness your truth and seek

What is best for you & your dreams

What it means to change your mind

To be unafraid to disagree and say no

I know what is right for me and point to it

Or make it happen by knowing yourself

What it means to LIVE your life

What it means to live out your mindset

To risk in whatever way possible

To remain sovereign and still accountable

My soul speaks spirit language dialect

Are you picking up what I’m putting down

Can you detect the undertones & nuances

I hope you can speak sign language
