Dharma Identity

Every day is a test, every day a battle
in how you come to terms with 
who you are
not
who you would like to be.

Trapped in your job, trapped in your life
you have to come to terms with
what you can do
instead of 
what you want to do.

Fixed in your role, stuck in your part
as warrior, thief or midwife
you have to come to terms with
doing it perfectly
instead of
arguing with the director.
