You are not average

neither am I, nor is anyone!

Here is something from a collection that I will release next year titled “Lobsters of Truth”

This is a follow up on last Sunday’s post about challenging ourselves without harm.

Being average is
being no one.

Average is a 
mushy
flaky
non-sensical
number 

that is pushed into
our education,
our healthcare,
and our society.

It constricts 
the human spirit
and corners us
into slaving away
to be something
that is made
for no one.

You are part of the collective
but you are also your own self

will you drown in the world’s perception?
or Will you pave a right of passage?

Will you continue living
in a paradigm of 
uni dimension
thinking
under the illusion 
of choice
that sells you freedom
in carton boxes?

Leave comfort
leave fragility
Leave survival
enter a mindset
of being who
you came here
to become.

You can do it.

You have genes
that have survived
lions
and famine
and diseases
for millions of years.

You have a brain
that can compute
millions of equations
simultaneously

You have a body
that can run
from a stampede
and hunt a gazelle.

You have thumbs
that create fire
from rocks.

And tools that carve
stones
and make weapons
out of nature. 

You have a heart
that is wide enough
to carry
the whole world in it,

and when you start
opening that heart
to yourself,

that is when
you
will come out
and fucking
shine.
