Language to Live By: 001 -- Enough (Paula's Interlude) 

Enough (Paula’s Interlude)


The only thing that's keeping you

From getting you

What you want

Is the story you keep telling you

If you change

Everything you say to you

Everything you say and do

Will change for you

 

The only thing you can change

When you can't change where you're at

Perspective on what you have

And how you think what's good is bad

When sometimes good is just what's familiar

Comfort to a fool like clouds lined with silver

Sometimes the things you think that are bad

Are really good things you never had

And what is truly valuable

Is how you know which way to go

How you know which do's are don'ts

And how you find the will to won't

Stay within your comfort zone

Be your own detective, inspector of conceptions

That misdirect the senses and critical deceptions

You believe was senseless

But you still accepted

And if you accepted

Then you can reject it

 

Your mistakes are only a reflection

Of who you were

And they are not directions

To where you're headed

You can still go everywhere you want to go

And no where they expected

 

Your mistakes are only a reflection

Of who you were

And they are not directions

To where you're headed

You can still be everything you want to be

And nothing they expected

 

For too long

You put their feelings

About you

Before your feelings

About yourself

These feelings

Became thoughts

And they dwelled

These feelings

They got caught

And they swelled

And these feelings

They flow

Right over your wellness

No, you are not well

Yes

 

You are up the creek without a paddle

No paddle, and you're up the creek

And they herded you from cattle

Cause you acted like a sheep

Someone who is strong

But acts like they are weak

Even when they're wronged

Allowing them to speak

Following along

Pretending to be

Someone who they're not

Someone happy

 

You put yourself down

To bring others up

You pour into them

Till you emptied your cup

And now you're so thirsty

Deserted by love

Somehow you're still drowning

Don't feel

Like enough

 

You are more than a dysregulated nervous system rooted in unhealed trauma

This is how many stay reeling in drama

Thought you was a period

You're really a comma

The best is yet to come

Should really be your mantra

Thing you need to tell yourself

Is what you tell your daughter

Your son, or your sister, or your mother, or your father

 

Heal Ancestral Trauma

 

Scars on the pretty things

Put away the petty things

I'm letting go of anything

That keeps me from discovering

I am less than everything

The world has left to offer

 

I am enough in the skin I am in

I am enough in the skin I am in

I am enough in the skin I am in

And everything I want in this life I can win

I am the master of my mind

The alchemist is I

And I decide to define how I live by my design

 

I am enough in the skin I am in

I am enough in the skin I am in

I am enough in the skin I am in

And everything I want in this life I can win

I am the master of my mind

The alchemist is I

And I decide to define how I live by my design

 

And so

The only thing that's keeping you

From getting you

What you want

Is the story you keep telling you

If you change

Everything you say to you

Everything you say and do

Will change for you
