I am a winner

[Rose @RoseEmpower]

She sat at the back and they said she was
shy
She led from the front and they hated her
pride
They asked her advice and then questioned her
guidance
They branded her loud then were shocked by her
silence

When she shared no ambition, they said it was
sad
So she told them her dreams and they said she was
mad
They told her they'd listen then covered their
ears
And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her
fears

And she listened to all of it, thinking she
should
Be the girl they told her to be, best as she
could
But one day she asked what was best for
herself
Instead of trying to please everyone
else

So she walked to the forest and stood with the
trees
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the
leaves
And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the
pine
And she told them what she'd been told, time after
time

She told them she felt she was never enough
She was either too little or far, far too much
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek

Then she found a small clearing, surrounded by
firs
And she stopped and she heard what the trees said to
her
And she sat there for hours not wanting to
leave
For the forest said nothing, it just let her

breathe

@GraemeDogfather Much prefer the flat cap and cravat ☺️

@BearCubLdn I think she’s since complained and said she was depicted in a very bad light on purpose by the producers … oh and plus she’s got a child and they only mentioned it once on the playback video 🤣

"True happiness and lasting peace can only be found by letting go of attachment to the past, embracing the present moment, and cultivating a compassionate heart towards oneself and all beings."

@coolmunnings @guytalkingpish I don’t think the experts should have allowed their abusive relationship to continue. Shame on them.

Wherever I go I consider whoever I meet to be another human being like me. We all want to live a happy life. We all respond to smiles, so wherever I go, I smile. Even when we don't share a language, we can communicate our friendship by smiling.
