Shapes of Self-Love

by M

Think outside the box

But stay within their lines

Awareness brings a birds-eye view

Of the purgatory

To which we find ourselves confined

A mime, a puppet

Self-abandonment at their expense

It’s in this toxic la-la-land

We play ignorance pretend

Awareness seeds the hidden truth

Planted projections, manifested desires to escape-

those determined to confine us

When puppets can’t be tamed

Ego-rooted perspectives unwilling to change

Trying to fit a puzzle

With a missing piece, to no avail

Growth reveals such a piece was always inside

Her shapes of self-love prevail
