🔗 This post continues the journey of transformation that began in Rituals of Becoming. Now we come to that quiet defiance—the one that sustains the unfolding.
This is the second step in our poetic path toward radical self-love and inner truth.
The Quiet Rebellion of Becoming is a call to collect the dreams instead of the drama, the love instead of the ego, and to bear witness to the quiet strength that moves along your path, not through sound.
But through steadfast grace.
Letting Go of Ego, Choosing Self-Love, and Walking the Path of Purpose
A Soft Revolution Begins Within
A time comes when we no longer want to get applause or approval.
We understand that we cannot invest our energy in any battle.
It is not that opinion used moulds our truth.
There in the silence,
The silent revolution of becoming is afoot among us as we rise in arms against ourselves.
Deciding to grow rather than be validated, living the dream rather than creating drama, and loving instead of stroking the ego.
A Whisper from the Wise
I once consulted one woman wise,
And whose laughter echoed through paradise.
She had secrets to reveal, glowing and bright,
A guiding star to light up the path for my flight.
Releasing the Burden of Small Battles
I stopped fighting, struggling, feeling small and mean,
For whispered gossip and spite unseen.
No more I fought with my in-laws’ ire,
Nor do I desire good attention’s gleaming fire.
I left behind the public spotlight,
I chose my way for what was right.
I never fought to prove what’s right,
To minds clouded by ego’s sight.
The Shift: Choosing Dreams Over Drama
Such battles and arguments were left for lesser souls,
As I ran after my sweet goals.
Instead, I fought silently for my dreams and visions in bold,
For dreams I cherished, stories untold.
I knew my dreams and visions were so grand,
That could influence the shapes of the land.
The day I left the petty fights,
My vision, my dreams, and my ideas soared, reaching new heights.
A Meaningful Start
A new beginning bloomed with a goal—
My destiny, my ideas, my art—
These became the battles of my heart.
The day I chose my fights with care,
Success began to bloom, “very near and so fair.”
Now I no more sought others’ attentions and gleam,
And do not struggle to meet society’s dream.
Letting Go, Moving Forward
Such trivial matters, let others pursue,
While I for greater goals did strive and do.
Now I let go of things and matters that drain my brain,
And chase my dreams and goals with all my heart and strain.
Now I have chosen my path in countless ways,
Moved in my life journey and left the worldly gaze.
My destiny is a noble quest,
A journey through which I stood my test.
Light Beyond Ego
Finally, success became my guiding light,
A beacon shining so bright.
So, pick your battles and fight smart,
To mark your journey with a meaningful start.
Some will be lost in endless nights,
Strive for your dreams with all your might.
Your spirit should flourish and shine,
Let self-love be your lifelong sign.
Reflections for the Reader

A Note:
This work dwelt on foreign banks,
However, the platform shut its open doors.
And now it is back, back where it should be,
A soul place, a dream place, a song place.
There are words too close to the heart to go wrong;
They want to be listened to, in their silent manner.--This article was first published on Vocal Media and has now come home.
Vocal is no longer available in my region—
And some words are too close to the soul to be abandoned.
