the angels of prosperity
dance and cheer so loudly
that they drown out any disbelief
of my deserving of this abundance
“I’ll see it because I believe it”
is my new mindset
that I’ve trained myself to think
so I can enjoy this new life
“Be free, my child”
they sing to me
as I learn to free myself
from this cage of limiting beliefs
I was made for more than this
the love I give was destined to find me
the desires I have were meant to guide me
to a life so fulfilling
that I can be grateful for my past
I learned the lessons
so I can receive the blessings
and be bathed in the abundance after
being guided through this crossroad
