You shouldn’t talk like that!
You shouldn’t feel that way!
Two of the worst things
That anyone can say
A depressed and anxious state
Never knowing why
Lost inside myself
Wishing I could die
Giving up on life
Surrendering to the pain
Finally seeking help
Believing things could change
Searching for the truth
Why am I this way?
Reading, writing, and researching
Every night and day
From addiction to obsession
The pain replaced by passion
Open up my chakras
No more meds to crash on
Put the past behind me
Accept my life’s “mistakes”
Forgive, others, the world
Understanding the perfection of my present state
Peace of mind, my obsession
A desire to know the Truth
Or be financially free
Believing so many half-truths
Learn the truth about everything
Dive even deeper than deep
Know more, meditate, reject all beliefs
Self-inquiry at night even while I’m asleep
The Truth was present the entire time
The books only pointed the way
I found my Peace at last
When I finally stopped looking the other way
Years of needless suffering
So many lessons to learn
Just to know myself
For that is what I yearned
It was never about the money
Not success or getting “there”
There is no “there”, there’s only Here
It was all a trick. Remove the mirror
Now, a brand new state
Peacefulness beyond belief
The Truth beyond the illusion revealed
Without the mirror, All That Is, is Me
