Ego Is me In front of me Blocking me Preventing me From seeing Anything else When I look at you I see me When I look around A thousand meeeeeees Spring up A forest Of trees Falling For the sake of me And I’ve had enough Buddha said if you see your beloved on the […]
No longer serving tea and biscuits to doubt. I wish – that’s a lie, actually doubt is what keeps me real. It brings me back to earth, I listen to it and I self correct and keep going. Nothing wrong with humble but anything past that and you start to retreat into hiding. Which serves […]
The thought Weakens the bones And how you felt Barely 10 minutes ago Simply doesn’t apply now *It amazes me the range of emotions I can experience in one day but always by evening I’m doubtful and walking backwards and wanting to hide again.
