True Self

True Self poem

Deceptions feed on dreams

Of what we wished on needs

The sources of our inner truth

But they are put to misuse

 

We don’t become different

We simply flee our imprisonment

The lies we were fed from others

Telling us we are their covers

 

And in turn it only smothers

Who we are, the being inside

Who keeps pushing aside

The lies your brain shouts

And the heart doubts,

 

So it tries to whisper,

But the mind can falter,

It shouts and floods

Your very blood

 

With the habits and likes

Which only live to strike

You down, pulling you deeper

Only to find a wall steeper

Than you started to climb

So how can you define,

Who you are?

 

By that instinct,

What makes you happy,

But does not hurt any

Person, you or thing?

What truly brings

You the joy to thrive?

What makes you so alive?

That it helps others and you?

That it brings light and truth?

 

There you will find your true self

The person underneath all the chaos

Who was the one who safeguards

The truth until you were ready

Since when your happy,

It’s not about time, but journey

True Self
