i am patience

I stand in my stillness and the world falls into place

My breath moves slow through a fearless chest My hands stay steady,

my jaw unbound I know in my bones what is meant for

me No clock can shake this solid ground My patience is power,

not retreat A deeper kind of confidence When pressure rises,

I grow more still And stand with calm intelligence

I do not chase,

I attract I do not rush,

I command What is mine will know my name

And arrive right in my hands I trust the timing of my

life Like a mountain trusts the seasons

I am patience itself Unshakable,

certain, alive Time bends and opens before me I was born for

this climb

I am patient, I am powerful Exactly where I am meant to

be

I do not doubt,

I know

This is the man I decided to be

Across the table the tension burned Sharp words were thrown to test

my frame Then something anchored through my chest Through my feet into

the earth beneath my name My heartbeat slowed and set the room

A drum that ordered every stare They saw at once I would

not move

Not for noise, not fear,

not glare Armor made of stillness on my shoulders Warmth and certainty

in every word

That was the day I stopped pretending And lived the truth my

spirit heard

Waiting feels like power now Because I know who I have become

I am patience itself Unshakable,

certain, alive Time bends and opens before me I was born for

this climb

I am patient, I am powerful Exactly where I am meant to

be This truth lives permanent in me And no force can take

it from me I

am patient I am powerful I am exactly who I chose to

be
