Taking Bare of Yourself

Taking Bare of Your Self Reflecting on the silent moments when the Self absorbs itself Tim is called preposterous a villain and contentious narcissist He looks into the mirror ponders on ponds of accusations Yet hurts no others rejects a portion of what he recovers No aggression no hurting others no transgressions he simply Choses to take a good honest look at the prism of his meaning The surface surges with a splatter as he views beyond the Grimace of distortion salvages and abandons faulty grins In the nude he dives into the wrinkled waters of salty tears Mediates in breathless meditation sheds weight and anger Takes care of his truth at the bottom of uncertain sediments Strips groundless fearsome fathom fragments and thus retrieves Bystanders do not like that he appears to be marvelling when He only begs to differ from others and himself before he rises Dissents consents dissolves ambivalence does not retaliate False censorship of crowds that cannot will not wish to see When onlookers label in projection and throw a stone he catches What matters to him and walks away with kindness towards himself 20th July 2018

Personal beliefs comes from ones personal experiences. One must believe in one's self before he believes in others...which Tim has done! Excellent poetry Kai...Stay well my friend!
