I own
/
I own the energy I carry
The way I show up in a room
And even what room I choose to enter
I own the choice to say yes, or no
Of being able to listen to myself
And make my own decisions
I own how much time I dedicate to people, things, spaces, and events
I don’t need to overstay my welcome
Or allow others to do the same for me
I own the space around me
And how closely I allow others to get
I own the direction I choose to go
And if I want to make a detour
Stop and stay awhile
Go off course
Or turn around and go home
I own my truth
And who I choose to share it with
Not everyone deserves to hear it
I own my path, my journey, my way forward
As well as my past
And what I’ve done to lead me to become
