Holding onto
illusions
security is
what is known
but what do I really know?
What's been taught to me,
imposed upon me rather,
through my elders, education?
regurgitated information!
Knowledge they say
degrees are the way
really?
What of experience,
is that not what truly teaches?
Have I truly experienced anything,
or am I going through life on
autopilot?
From one mundane task to another
filling up space
filling up the calendar
so it can be physically seen
before my eyes
what is yet to come for future days.
Worried about the future, stuck in the past,
Exhausted! Nonsense!
What of the now, the present moment?
Closing my eyes now.
Time to deprogram and start living
each moment, as it should be.
Watching myself, I am after all
my best teacher
an observer if you will.
Starting to get it now
understand
Time to grow, know
me
Aloneness
Handing back the script
of ‘victim' lead role
no more self pity
no more show
I am to blame
no one else
this I now know.
I have my own mind
the gift of freedom is within
not freedom from
not freedom for
freedom is pure
freedom is
just is, just be
Grateful I am for so many things
so many blessings…
I will no longer willingly drink from
the cups of bitterness, anger, resentment, & blame.
This poison has cheated me and won its last game,
I will make choices now, as the choice is mine,
yours it is too
Gifts
we all have
You are
Thank you!
