We spend a lifetime
Recovering from the childhoods
Ingrained into the mazes of our consciousness
Maybe we should think less
Covering craters in the corners of our memories
Targeting all the wrong enemies
Pause, Take a moment
To fall into the holes you tip-toed around
Fall with purpose, fall with sound
Confront the things that chase you
That you don't understand but lace you
Search it all and then some
Understand where each thought derives from
And need what you keep
Or keep what you need
Because in the end
It's your own soul that you feed
