Stand at the edge of your soul, looking at it's shore. See the essence of your very being .

Do you like what you see?

Step away from me.

If you have yet to find yourself (who you are ,what makes you ,you),

how can you envision someone else knowing you?

Step away from me.

Give yourself time, to know that each of us is the sum of all experiences, that this life has bestowed upon us.

It's what we do with that sum, that matters. The cause and effect. What can you do to lessen someone's anguish? What act of kindness can you bestow upon a fellow being?

Can you empower yourself to be the change you'd like to see?

Step away from me.

While you demand tolerance,equal rights, and acceptance; do you practice them, in your actions?

Step away from me .

Look down upon your own path. See what is lain before you. Your choices.

As I step away.
