But the stories you tell yourself
Especially the ones about yourself
And your life
It's all wrong
It's not pertinent
This now
This is reality
Who you are right now
What you do right this moment
That is it
That's the real deal
Not the stories
Not who you think you are
take a cold hard objective look at who that really is
What are you really doing?
Because as long as you keep believing the story of who you think you are
Instead of looking at the reality
You will be stuck in a web of lies
And half truths
And there is no true happiness there
Be who you are
With your entire heart
With your entire soul
Live it
Stop with the bullshit drama
Stop with the false accolades
Stop with the unimportant bullshit that props you up or you prop up
Stop with the justifications and excuses
The wah-wah sob stories
Just stop all of it.
You have but one chance to be who you were truly meant to be
The unique being that you are
When you strip it all away
Leave it all bare
Vulnerable
Raw
Real
Who is that?
What is left?
Don't waste this life trying to be someone you aren't
The ideals society, family, religion, power, money, comfort, complacency; or lack thereof
have made you accustomed to
Are all hogwash
Search your heart for your true self
Quiet the mind
And listen to your soul
Ravaged as it may be
It is there
always there
Waiting
Longing
That is what you seek
That is the key to your true fulfillment
It has been there within you all along
Your true self wishes an audience with the ensemble before you in the mirror
It wishes to lead in the dance
And when you let it
When you let your spirit soar
Know that it is the greatest treasure/gift (experience) of them all
Come at any price it may have to come
Once you live it
Truly live it
The freedom
The letting go
The just being
The just letting be
You'll see..... it is far better than anything ever imagined or experienced before
