Poem Title:
Poem
To unmask a false identity is to identify genuine authenticity. It's painful, no, it kills me, but it's the only way to heal what's deep. Pain in my body, it was a lie to me. Deep regrets built in from long ago. No. Deep pits that have since grown cold. The shame was underlying, and i craved the construct of what was outside of me. I craved the false labels given to me by society. The soul was silent and yet also crying. It wouldn't let me be. It wouldn't let me see. I caved into the sick fetishes and long trends. I'm outside now. Barren but warm. My father has said i should have fun. Enjoy my true self and forget about the rest. Having a good quality of mind is best to use all the time. I love all of me, but I knew some would not see. I can't control the outcome. I can only control my response. I'm not creating any more stories. I'll let their reactions write their stories. I said I'd let their reactions write their stories. The only story i see is the one I'm co-creating. Let the chips fall where they may. Everyone will always, in the end, show their true face. It's nothing but the God in me. I'm walking tower that's triggering. I'm making your genuine authenticity be revealed that's hiding deep. Authenticity challenges one to not stay stuck Authenticity challenges your world and breaks old labels and those petty social constructs. What is valuable to you? What is tangible and true? Could you let it all go and walk the journey of the fool? Those are the questions that are challenging, but by God, there is a new way of thinking. I'm viewing from a perspective of grace, smiling with compassion, and using love that's unconditional. The skin of yesterday has shed that person is now dead. Rising again another transformation. It's the story of one in the spiritual journey. Thank you for making it this far. I hope you enjoyed it. It is truly inspired and holds a special place inside of me. ????????
