Embodiment

Judge yourself as if life is contest
of who can embody
the most truth
Our experiences are fool proof
so forget the expectations
of those considered
wise
My eyes are fully free so all
I see are things that
have been eaten
by the whole of me
This life is a soliloquy & it vents
each and every thought
most perfectly
This symphony is orchestrated
by the one that creates
with boundless
intentions
So creative that its made
innumerable extensions
that connect
all throughout infinity
I've developed an affinity
for the mind
body
soul & spirit peaks
The holy spirit of which we
religiously speak or mention
is found in the words of those
that tirelessly seek
Be mindful of the wickedness
that arises under the guise
of false praise
It materializes to the lost
offering mountainous peaks
but don't be fooled
by words or light shade
The convolution & curves are
meant to misdirect so subtly
that you agree
with the confusion
Free yourself from the illusion
of self & dissect
with utmost respect
to who you came to be
Forgive yourself unapologetically
even if not seeing the truth
is unforgivable
tragedy
Earth is a masterfully woven
experience blanketed by
interchangeable realities
Its falsities are so real that even
you have come to believe
that you were born
to be a casualty
We're all soldiers in a war
casually shooting ourselves
down without
knowing
Remember to never stop
growing even if the battle
is hard & the thorns
won't stop poking
Those that eat lies will start
choking when they
regurgitate
Don't throw up but throw
down the inconsistencies
before they digest
& it's too late
