A NEW POEM

<O:p</O:p
I am Ego and pride, blind with Selfishness, I’m losing my mind.<O:p</O:p
I am Confused, fear has me frayed<O:p</O:p
Someone please help me get away, I wil try to be brave. <O:p</O:p
But There is a fog I can’t see through . I just want to escape<O:p</O:p
I am stuck in this dream, where nothing ‘s real for me <O:p</O:p
Please set me free.<O:p</O:p
I try to pick up my pieces again and again <O:p</O:p
Then drop them the moment I have them in hand <O:p</O:p
Fear, Doubt, Lust, and Greed<O:p</O:p
Now I’m stuck without hope there’s no drive left in me. <O:p</O:p
Please set me free.<O:p</O:p
I feel myself slipping day by day, Into great oblivion I’ve lost my way <O:p</O:p
There’s no longer beauty, just existence without meaning<O:p</O:p
No pictures for painting nor song for singing<O:p</O:p
Exausted I sit here in silence not thinking, not talking, not hearing, not moving, not seeing.
And then comes surrender to this moment of being.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:pIn this moment is no longer anything that needs freeing.<O:p</O:p
love, live, laugh but now I see clearly. <O:p</O:p
Being trapped in one’s head can cost one dearly. <O:p</O:p
All is illusion but this timeless moment. <O:p</O:p
From this truth comes freedom. <O:p</O:p
Just see it, and own it.
