Sleep my child

here is where we have it all wrong

Life is not about bartering or taking all you can get

It’s about both giving

And receiving with abandon

With a joyful heart

With purity of intention

————

It’s got to start somewhere

Sometime

That would be true heaven on earth

And if you don’t believe me try it someday

Live a few moments a day with complete peace

Live a few moments a day with absolutely no pressures or fears

A moment of real quiet bliss

————

Or have some awesome sex

That works too

————

Feel the exquisite nature of allowing yourself to be raptured in the moment

No matter what it is

With no judgment from yourself

And not allowing others judgement to affect you

Consent to live your life in true happiness

Refer back to lines 2-6 for an explanation

Faking it

Sometimes I still feel like I’m faking it

And then I realize

I’m really not

It’s just that some days it takes more effort than others

But I’m still me

And I have the way I do things

The way I think

My general responses....which

Are within a spectrum I find enjoyable

Genuine

And acceptable upon inspection; generally speaking

Enough so that it makes me feel I don’t need to worry

But then again; I don’t want to become complacent either

And just believe I am a good person

Without actually being one

Simply because I want it to be so

I know I still have work to do

I still could improve

So I have compassion for myself as I struggle sometimes

And also I have a desire to have more depth

To be the best and most sincere version of me I can be

With my heart above my head

With kindness above obliviousness

With giving above receiving

And love above judgment

It’s a work in progress

I am a work in progress

And I’m thankful

To have something to focus on right now

besides the sadness

That has been engulfing me a bit lately
