Nakedness
Aware of my nakedness
Aware of the drives
Why must I choose stories
To describe my irreconcilable feelings inside
Is it because of the efforts
Required to discern proof
Or fearing the inevitable
My impermanence – the harsh reality of the truth
The complexities of consciousness
A conundrum for an instinctual beast that can surmise
Awareness is necessary
For logic and reason to thrive
It is in this very moment
Sitting here – in all of my unease
Accepting my predicament
Choose living – it minimizes the disease
Disease?
The disease of fear
Anxiety – embarrassment - and shame
It’s the toxic herd environment that creates social disdain
In all of our nakedness
We are now free from the herd
Our new frame of reference
We understand the automatic thoughts – the unspoken internal words
A true liberation occurs
Recognition – perception – it’s all in our mind
In all of our nakedness
Meaning – purpose – it’s been there - all the time
