If I knew then, what I know now,
my inner fears will all be drowned.
People will do what we allow.
Do not give in, hold my own ground.
If I knew then, what I know now,
I would listen to inner sounds.
My scared ego would take a bow.
Trusting my heart makes whispers loud.
If I knew then, what I know now,
my soul would bask when love was found.
I would receive and not ask how.
Allow senses to pick my crowd.
If I knew then, what I know now,
each passing day would not feel bound.
I will obey my inner vow.
Let my love guide, fill, and surround.
