Dear Friends, Family and Fans,
Each day is an opportunity to renew your spirit. I wrote this poem to renew our children's spirit and resurrect our own. They/we can get drawn into belief systems that deny our genius, our beauty, our strength and power. Let our lives defy the lie!
Day 18: Don’t Drink the Kool Aid
Copyright 2014, Lindamichelle Baron
Don’t drink the Kool Aid
Don’t buy the lie
Haters belittle everything you try
They want you to give up
They want you to quit
It’s just that their world is too small
For your dreams to fit.
Don’t drink the Kool Aid
Don’t buy the lie
They’re trying to sell you pie in the sky.
You won’t win if you give in.
Who are they, anyway?
Why believe what they have to say?
They are not even a minute in your life’s hours.
Don’t place your life in their make-believe powers.
They’re like the Wizard of Oz
Pretending to be large and in charge
Don’t drink the Kool Aid
Don’t buy their lie.
Revoke the “okey doke”
Reveal the self you never knew
Be the self inside that is true
Be the self to make your dreams renew
Step up to the power inside of you.
Make your own Kool Aid
Create your own sky
Put the real you in place of the lie.
Live your choice
Be your own unique voice
Make your plan, take your stand
Its up to you to do what you gotta do
The time is now. The place is here
The decision is yours. Make it…take it…
If you dare.
Don't Drink The Kool Aid is one of my favorite poems from my personal treasure trove of poems
