Kaitlyn, You Inspired Another Substacker

Whatever they say or do or see as me

I am free I am free I am free

To be me

Each aspect of Infinity

Sovereignty

Is what I see

Love is what I choose

What I am

In Truth

I see so are they

No matter what they see may say

And if I press the button

And see the words neatly slipped out of view

As they often are

Or I cannot go out in society

To join the crowd

Who've forgotten how divine they are

If my parents see

Rather what they see is a projection of me

If it is the same with two out of three

Of the children

Whose very bodies came through me

It doesn't really matter

Even if at times my heart has felt sadder

Or in tatters

Any more than a cloud

Obscures the light of a star

Or clothing covers skin

Innocence

Is who we all are beyond

Your or my definition

Of sin

Their opinion doesn’t really matter

Be brave

Be humble

Beyond the rave

Beyond

The grumble

Their views become their reality

But they need not be yours or mine

Each of us finds within

A diamond Valentine

Formed from Source

Light yet become our Humanity

Through like coal under pressure

Their views only matter

Only from a certain point of view

But never one that is True

From the Ultimate

And it doesn’t need to matter

In the Reality I AM

In this form

Waving peace to you

So that it may become matter

All The Love I have in my heart,

Alicia

This poem was inspired by the extraordinary Kaitlyn Rightmyer. Check out her post “Beyond Perception.” Here is an excerpt:

As we walk through this world as a sensitive soul, we will inevitably pick up on things from others. Sometimes this occurs in ways we don’t even realize because it not only happens as words directed at us, but in feelings projected towards us. Without awareness, we then internalize these things, and they guide who we allow ourselves to be, and how we show up in this world. In this way, we either become the projections of others, or we become someone else in an effort to control them. Our journey to living as an emanation of our soul’s truth will ask us to move through all of these layers, and as we do, we are granting ourselves this permission- to consistently be our true selves in all of its glory. It isn’t our job to attempt to control the misperceptions of others. I can very well emanate the truth of my heart in every fiber of my being and I will still be perceived in a number of different ways. It is only ever our job to shine as truth. That is our greatest gift to ourselves and others.

Without a doubt we will be misperceived when we refuse to perpetuate the ways of this world, when we refuse to perpetuate illusion. There comes a time when we can see the beauty in this because we know that we are only moving in uncharted ways and paving the most beautiful path forward. People don’t have to clearly see to feel the beauty and truth in their wake, but it will touch them if and when it is meant to- showing them what is possible because it is humbly being lived.

Misperception is the pathway to true belonging.
