I Am the Giant

Thu, 09/24/2015 - 17:22 -- taramgi

I was always meant to be somebody but somehow... I did not know how I was gonna get there

In the depths of the big city taking the subway... I had dreams so big and so vast that the sky couldn't hold it. neither could the air. 

I was always meant to be somebody big but I did not know how I was going to make it

I feared the giant that was sleeping inside of me.

I kept her alseep because I did not know what she was capable of doing if I woke her from her exciting dream. 

I was David and the world was my Goliath, I had the ability to slay the giant but the giant in me had to awake so that I could pursue the dreams that were at stake

and the many decisions that I had to make 

for the chances and the opportunities that I wanted to take

were so close in my grip but still, I was still afraid to make my next move. 

So then I changed my reality by turning my "I was" into "I am" 

I am meant to be somebody and now I know how I am going to get there

I am going to strengthen my mind and weaken my doubts

I am going to embrace the change in me and let my world know what I'm about

I am somebody and nobody in the world can take that away from me

I am a special person on this Earth for a special purpose and I am as solid as a maple tree 

I am as fluid, plentiful, and flexible as the abundant blue sea 

I am the giant who awakened from my coma and I have broken my chains to set myself free
