Listen To Understand

Running hard from your most inner feeling,
Often forgetting to nurture yourself,
From your truth, you are actually reeling

Putting your emotions high on a shelf,
Living an out-of-touch unfulfilled life,
Originality hidden from self…

Injuring damaged psyche like a knife,
Meticulously hiding your inner light,
Bending to his will as a Stepford Wife.

Psychic feelings that should feel just right
Given to His spiritual listeners,
Who can understand with all of their might
