The Path
The path is simple, yet few will take.
Because you need willingness to see your mistakes.
Trapped in ego, replaying the story.
That’s how you are blocked from your own glory.
But not just yours or the glory of loved ones.
You are blocked from the glory God promises all daughters and sons.
Unable to see through the ego’s veil of judgment and lies,
You don’t notice your life is slipping away with each compromise.
Afraid to feel the emotions you learned to suppress,
You numb with food, tv, alcohol, or shopping for a new dress.
Anything to make you feel better in this very moment,
As you wait for those negative feelings to go back to dormant.
Stop running from them, I urge you dear friend.
Feeling those feelings is part of the process or your heart will not mend.
You must feel them to let them out.
It’s ok to feel sad and cry.
It’s ok to feel angry and want to shout.
The key is to feel those feelings without the story.
To feel their pain and all their fury.
They’re great teachers and they’re guiding the way,
Because you cannot see that your life has gone astray.
You must see their truth and what they want you to discover.
This life is full of beautiful things to uncover.
But the pain is real, it is deep, it must be dealt with.
Or you will continue your life loop, and it will go by fast and swift.
Whether you believe in religion, spirituality, or universal law,
There is energy that lives in this world, in us, and in the essence of all.
If you look closely, you’ll see the truth is imprinted.
It’s everywhere and in everything; it cannot be lamented.
It’s in nature, in science, in scripture, and other texts.
All say the same thing, but the ego’s involvement causes you to become vexed.
Instead of feeling your pain, you subconsciously project it.
Causing problems galore and issues you never expected.
You turn from God, source, higher power. All of it rejected.
You blame everything else, because as a child, you never felt protected.
Neglect, abuse, whatever your source of trauma.
We all have it and it’s what causes your life of drama.
Unable to see, you got lost in your own cloud.
It was easier to numb and stay in the shroud.
I urge you again, being willing to feel your pain.
If you don’t, you’ll stay in the cycle of blame and shame.
Embrace the darkness and you will find light.
Be willing to see and you will be granted sight.
This journey is not for the faint of heart and it’s one that’s on going.
It will bring you back into balance and to the energy of the all-knowing.
It’s not about the destination, it’s about what’s in between.
It’s about tapping into the energy that is unseen.
It’s about keeping life energy flowing and learning to do this dance.
For you are not here by only happenstance.
You have a purpose, a mission, a vision that lives inside you.
The ones that have gone before you will be the ones to help guide you.
What are you waiting for? Embrace your pain and get ready for the ride.
Your life is waiting for you and God is on your side.
