14E
Each time some aspect of life scares me out of my wits
Causing me to make a decision
That catalyzes my spirit to take a lengthy dive
My sixth sense suggests my need to
Soak my head in Walden Pond
And when intuition speaks, I listen
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Up above the world so high
Spirit sparkling in the sky ... Until
Unprocessed fear floods my mind with
Such a profusion of negatively charged confusion that
I lose sight of my connection to positively focused courage
As no one escapes childhood unscathed from feeling 'bad'
Common sense suggests that an overbearing presence
Will haunt your sense of peace as it did mine until
Your adult sense of intelligence chooses to
Quest toward insight into deeper truth
And once insight spotlights a dark spot of subconscious guilt
You, too, will free yourself of a mindset in need of review
If you want to know why
'What you don't know can hurt you
I'd reply:
What you don't know about yourself
Can hurt you by curbing your sense of joy
In much the same way as sticks and stones can break your bones
Once we accept both sides of human nature as
Existing for sound reason within us all
That's when we'll not feel guilty about
Considering our own deepest needs
With the same attention to detail that
We take care to meet the needs expressed by those we love
All we need do
To make that sense of balance come true
Is to stop fooling ourselves into believing that
We know ourselves in depth when in truth
Our defense systems are hard wired to
Blind us to emotional wounds in need of healing at our core
Speaking from experience, I can tell you this:
It's far from easy to penetrate self protective, defensive walls
However, each time a story stalls while my conscious mind
Is readying itself to muster the humility and courage necessary to
Quest toward insight into deeper truth, that's when
You'll see me being true to the woman I prove to be at my core ...
