The Truth About Ourselves

Our hearts’ desires

To find freedom

To find ourselves

To be free to love

Both who we are

And who we aren’t.

Freedom sought after by turning inward

Seeking our truest selves

Unabated and unfettered

Un-influenced by our surroundings.

Has only left us confused

Without order

Running anemic

In search of God knows what.

For we swim in waters

That flow from Eden’s east

Far from our state

Of original peace.
