For too long

I thought I was sailing full speed toward my goals
I now see that I was sailing half mast
Held back by my own perception of how much one can do
By the voices and energies of those struggling whilst I flow and fly
By not wanting to stand out 'too much'
By holding a little greatness under my wing to keep others comfortable and still feel I'm journeying beside my teammates
But there is more in me ready to bust forth now
Ready to show you how too
Ready to shine without thought of offence or lack of compassion for those not ready to combust just yet
But I must
And I have faith my burning light will reach you
Even if you duck and hide
Wallowing in your war, your words and your why me's
When there is always a higher thought, a lifeline
The light
If only you would grab it
So if you are not ready, that is ok
But I will not wait
A day longer, to be my fullest
She has been standing only a foot in front of me
For too long
