Nobody Can Lead Like Me
Magnetic Poetry
Look in the mirror and repeat after me:
Nobody can lead like me
Nobody can lead like me
Nobody can lead like me
Now Believe:
Step 1: You are enough. You are complete
Step 2: It’s possible to show up with radical vulnerability
Step 3: I recognize abundance; we all can eat
Nobody can lead like me
Nobody can lead like me
Nobody can lead like me
Step 4: Speak the truth; Affirmations to re-wire my brain: (I am safe, I am complete).
Step 5: Wash. Rinse. Repeat; Stubborn patterns require heat
Step 6: Press in; Iron out the kinks
If you want to change, you have to believe
If you want to change, you have to believe
If you want to change, you have to believe
I trust me
I trust me
I trust me
I act in integrity
I act in integrity
I act in integrity
No one has answers to what’s best for me
No one knows my truth as intimately; It’s my vision
No one else can see
And Thank God for the women ahead of me
Illuminating this path with their herstories
Letting their bodies burn
Transforming themselves into pillars of light
Bearing the burden of night
That those of us who follow behind
Might have a chance to see ourselves
Yes as we seek, we come to find
These souls ahead who form our tribe
Us lost girls in the wilderness
Trekking through miles of brokenness
When suddenly, out of the mist
Emerges a mirror, most brilliant.
(Gasp) We catch our breath.
And that’s the moment when we see first her —
This woman, glorious.
Standing tall she is Free. Precious.
Unbound. A daughter whom
transformed her chains to beauty and truth
Escaping through a prism from the prison of her mind
Deepest scars become glittering lines
See; some people when you try to divide them
Only become more magnificent beams of light
She radiates love and witnesses, too
Close your eyes.
Tell me, What does she look like to you?
Do you see her Boldly? Beautifully?
Even softly?
Come to sit at her feet.
Place your hands to your heart
Listen closely
What does she whisper to you?
What love is reflected in her eyes as truth?
What does she offer?
Hold out your hands
Ask in openness to receive every gift
She bestows on you; say
I receive.
I receive.
I receive.
Practice the art of acceptance.
When you are filled, bring your hands back to heart center
Now repeat after me:
I have everything that I need
I have everything that I need
I have everything that I need
Recognize that each day
Is only the unearthing
I live faithfully
I believe, even when I cannot see
I trust that I have everything I need
Already, inside of me.
