Looking Within - Poem

The destination keeps changing

but my mind tries to stay the same.

Wherever I am,

whatever I stand for,

is as fluid as the water that makes me.

Makes me into what…?

I don’t know

but I glow

when I know the path is alight

with the right energy.

My mind tries to stop me…

gives me thoughts

that take me away

keeps me dreaming the dream.

I have seen

immortals die and

mortals fly

around my head

no blackness, just red

passions never subside

I try and hide

but they know

where I live

I’m taken away

a false map given

I want to be here now

How to surrender to the truth?

When everything is designed

to lure away

bring me pain

How can I change again?

Can I be trained?

Or chained?

Or can I just refrain?

Nothing is the same in my head

Observe and see

But I can’t agree

To the terms and conditions

of what is Not

I’m stuck

Struck down

by a limbo state

I can’t go back

to who I was before

No interest in outside games

I never understood

My life looks within

I’m shedding my skin

To dissolve the boundary

between outside and within
