Why do we try so hard
To fit into a world where we don’t belong
Why do we forget the individual notes
To our particular song
That can only be expressed by us?
Why do we cut ourselves down
To a one fits all size?
Telling so many lies
We forget are untrue
Convincing ourselves
That all we have endured
Makes no sense
What makes us lose trust
When inappropriate dreams
Shatter to splinters in the dust?
Why don’t we understand
All of these realisations
Just highlight the fact
That what is most needed
For self expression
Is a change in direction
A turning within
While sensing as deeply as we can
From inside
Where our unlived life
Full of authentic promise
And genuine happiness
Truly lies
Emerging From The Dark Night
