There is no dark council of judges
hunched in your mind,
proclaiming you worthless, helpless, lost,
viewing your actions with scorn,
offering snide comments,
leaving you to squirm
in the pain of their eyes
towards the light
There is no desperate toolbox,
things you can use
as protections from them,
things to lash out with,
maps of avoidance,
haphazard lines of defense
You are the light! Your being
has never depended on others’ approval,
never depended on them.
Your limitless brightness
outshines their shadow,
proving they never had power
Look – the whole room of your mind
is clear and free – there are no judges there.
And now you know it
they never can come back,
and you can love your life
as who you are.

Dear Wendy
This brings tears,,( more tears actually.. )
Are you in my household today? I’m pleading and seeking this week to know and claim the light of all of the ideas in your poem.
It is indeed an answer to my prayer.
Thank you for “ listening to Mind!’
With love
Juli
So glad to meet a need – we are all listening, and the answers are right here for us to hear –
Love,
Wendy
