Know Thyself

Know thyself
Confusing – maybe?
The reality - we are all we’ll ever have
Personal awareness is of utmost importance - indeed

Evolutionary dialectical battle
Vociferous the subconscious mind 
Perpetual synaptic reactions
Unexamined – troubled - unkind

Awareness precedes Transformation
Transformation – Holy Grail - life’s key
Rise above the ancient biological chatter
Peace of mind – pure ecstasy

Discard the externals
Internals – it’s all we can change
Situations will certainly challenge
Challenge self by knowing – knowing self minimizes the pain

Nothing in life really changes 
Therefore we are challenged each day
Knowing thyself is imperative
Awareness of self enlightens our way
