~ Just a Thought ~

I do not believe I am special
But I do believe I have worth to this world
Even if my worth is not something commonly understood
To be a good or desirable thing
These feelings have substance and belong somewhere
So hang my poems like paintings
In the bedrooms of your house,
And read my existential rantings.

You’ve been chasing the wrong things and you know it
Time will reveal the foolishness of false endeavours
The right way has always been available to you
You just needed to sit down and have a word with yourself
Escape the crowd; examine your life under a microscope
Dissect each day; tear out the heart of what’s going on
And see how that bloody thing beats.

Here my heart is beating with each word that hits the page
Giving me something that my culture failed to provide
I didn’t learn to do this from any teacher or textbook
And to many this act of writing would seem silly, even pointless
But let me tell you how alive I feel
As I connect with my deepest self
And pour out the raw truth that is lurking
In the recesses of my soul.

Everyone in this life has that thing
That will get those fingertips flickering
And if you haven’t found it
Then it’s time to step back and reassess.

All you have to do is be with yourself tonight
Put away that phone; look into that mirror
Be still in the silence
And search your soul for that something
That has been drowned out by society’s noise
And remember that you are a divine being
Who belongs to this world
And your feelings, your hopes, your joys
Your pains and fears
They are real and vital
And can be the signposts to the place
Where you truly belong.

Dare to listen to that inner voice
And take the journey of the self
Knowing that the days of emptiness shall end
As you finally work it all out
Cutting whatever you need to out of life
Finding the points that are seeping your energy
That are not authentic to who you are
And then gradually begin to feel your words and actions
Flowing freely from the source
Of whoever you really are
As everything finally comes into place
Just like these words are
Now.
