Capability Spoken Word Poem (Written Form) By Yasmin Bligh-Hasan

Maybe once in a while, we all need a push in the wrong direction.

Not to hinder ourselves, but to correct our perfection.

Sometimes we question our beliefs when we say amen,

So how many times in a year can we say that we rose up again?

How can we rise up if we never had something to rise up to?

Why be so dependant on the external to find your own gratitude,

When you can find that you can be your own motivation

In the midst of the heart which belongs solely to you,

but sometimes believes it loses itself in a constant counting of people through

A wave of a sudden hinder to your path from an unexpected series of events?

Sometimes we need to look for purpose and peace somewhere outside to

realise that it is only truly possible to find in your own being that is protecting you.

What if this life is purposely to allow you to do what you love to do?

Because as long as you are able to breathe you always have a second chance in front of you.

How do you know that the reality you experience is the truest reality of all?

Because in this world there’s another 7 billion realities completely different to yours.

So trusting your instincts will enable you to unlock that mental key you have been looking to

Find in something in other than yourself;

but now you know that you already have everything you need within you.

Don’t let things stop you from pursuing the new

that comes from the inevitable of being alive,

Rise above all the “screw you!’s and keep your focus on to

The thing you love most because that is what we are all supposed to do.

These words are a wake-up call from your spirit to your brain to

Shake you alert through the muffle of knowledge you’re trying to get through,

And take a long and deep breath to refresh your memory of who

Exactly you are and who you were before all the negativity got to you,

Who you were when you first opened your wide eyes and viewed

The beautiful and compassionate universe inside your mother’s eyes for the first time and just knew

that within your soul you will always contain her protection. And through

that you could dream anything you wanted and fully believed and knew that she would

always be there in the middle of the cold night to soothe you.

That is how you knew you could reach for anything, and if it was wasn’t right she would do her best to teach you.

Because now you have this sacred capability within you that allows you to

Strive forward and reach your desires without a care in the world of what people think of you,

As you possess a true calling from your inner wisdom that finally can draw open the curtains to

Let you know that it is a time for a change and a time to go through

a tremendous transformation into becoming the best version of yourself that there ever could be.

Because you will always know that your soul will piece itself together in time, and perfect your life for your own highest good.

And truthfully, that means striving to learn from that sudden hinder in the wrong direction.
