How Can I Be Me
Matching the essence of my mind
Stripping down to its essential purpose of simplicity
Neutralising an acute self-consciousness swinging in frontal opposition
Letting spontaneity counter any interfering deliberation
Minimising the expenditure of emotions and desires
Preserving myself by following the natural bends of things
Strucking water with all my might yet its not wounded
Grasping a handful of it but this proved impossible
Meaning so hidden and mystic revealed itself to me
"that which offers no resistance cannot be overcome"
Passing were my thoughts like reflection of birds flying over water
Drifting freely my mind crossed the ocean of original ignorance
Building a statue not by adding but by hacking away the unessential
