Do not slip into decadence
just because you’ve realized
that it is ridiculous to fall in love
with your struggles.

There’s no need
to see your struggles
as a moral necessity.

When the world
would like you to be
this or that…
To simply be is an act of defiance.

Refuse to abide
In another’s imagination.
That is your prison.
Break free.
Revolt…silently.

Say nothing. Stay suspended.
Your reactions are still
under the control
of those who hold your strings.

Do not make the choices
The world offers you.
To be given a choice
is to be denied freedom.

Become still.
Watch the world spin.
See it vomit its ugliness.
Separate yourself from it
so that you can heal.

Reclaim your pristine self.

To move freely within yourself
is to have healed…
Where you no longer are
seeking instruction from the world
on how to think, feel, walk…
On how to be.
