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
