Point of Reference
Thoughts emerge
Emotions illicit fear and pain
Critical egoic attachments
Creates distortions and self-disdain
In seeing who you’re not
A metamorphosis occurs
The truth has always been there
A little voice was never heard
Awareness of the “now”
Enlightenment to past thoughts
We see the point of reference
The manifestation of flawed ought’s
So love the little one
Who suffered years of pain
There was nothing the child could do
Liberation from self-shame
Now a whole new world emerges
Our dark childhood lights the path
No need for affirmation
Self-esteem regained at last
