Find myself there
May 13, 2022
If I continue to hold on
I will never be free
If I don’t let go
I will never be me
I am neither my emotions
Nor am I my beliefs
Neither my fleeting happiness
Nor my sticky grief
Neither my exhilarating ecstasy
Nor my crippling pain
I am beyond it all
I am when nothing remains
If the future I carry
And the past I don’t leave behind
Then no matter where I go
Myself I will never find
These torturing thoughts
And feelings that spook and scare
They continue to haunt me
Because I am not aware
For if I was
Then I would see
Life requires nothing of me
Except to just be
To simply let go
To be naked and bare
To move beyond questions and ideas
So I can find myself there
