Discernment

Dis-cern-ment
Oh, how I wish I knew what this meant

Before I abandoned myself
Before all the dents
Before I swayed for the males’ drive

How could I crumble in their gaze
And meet my need for connection to fill my gauge
I plowed forward in hysteria
a wondering uterus they say
Full throttle believing someone needs to complete me

I wish I could go back when the tracks were laid
Maybe I would have stayed whole –
Holy, lead by Self, aligned with source

Discernment by Debra Wallace MS LMFT

I wish I was aware of our intelligent design
Shifting the autonomic to manual
Turns out I had the key this whole time
It is all a matter of course…


I now know I can decide
I can even get off this ride
Or stay choosing to care how I feel
A merry-go-wheel perhaps

Does it even matter?
The exits are the same
I will place my bets on me
I decern to just Be
