Heed who grew up
              In a personally constructed Bubble.
Did not want to Deal.
               Mindless Matters.
At every
               Lonesome Turn.
There are Seekers
                               Such as
                                              You.
Who have etched a
                                  Similar Path.
Find those who
                            Function as
                                  You.
Create Together.
                              Burst the Bubble.
Before it is no longer
                                    Transparent.

Walk up to an
                         Empty Room.
Stand in the Doorway.
                   Witness the Silence.
Few deep,
                  Calming Breaths.
Move to the Center.
                                   Look at every
                                                           corner.
Imagine the Bodies,
                                  Spirits.
That have connected.
                                     Shared themselves.
See the shadows of
                                 Memory.
Feel the Energy,
             the Laughter,
                                    Anger,
                                                Joy,
                                                       Sadness.
Let yourself be
                           Open.
      Now.
                   Join in.
Become a memory.
                     An unforgiving
                                               Shadow.

We have been given a
                   WORLD
Where
                Thinking.
Is.
     Just.
             Not.
  Required.
              Who says Zombies
                                         Cannot Exist?
Are not walking
                            Among us.
     Void Emotion.
                              Void Human
                                                     Sincerity.
This
        'Functioning Society'
                       We have greedily gobbled
From a Silver,
                         Gold plated platter.
Does not support
                              Connection.
Promotes Private.
                 Singular Successes.
One ocean of
                       Opportunity.
                                                 How?
Tell a bird to swim.
                           Hold it's breath.
To halt it's lovely
                             Song?
It will
            Perish.
                         Forced to
                                           Thrive,
                                           Live,
                                           Exist,
                                          Be Content
In conditions it was not
                                         Designed
                                                           to Flourish.
You.
         Have a Particular,
                                         Admonishing
               Spirit.
Designed for a Certain
                                       Purpose.
The Human
                      Frailty,
Deemed
               Consciousness,
Possessing Thought.
                                    Curses
                                                     and
                                    Prizes.
The ability to choose a
                                         Niche.
Complicatedly,
                            Distraught and
Scared.
              We all begin to carve.
Choose Air,
                    Fire,
                            Water.
As our ideal conditions.
                    In which lies, Your
                                                      Destiny.

Why is
             'Good'
So hard
              Fought for?
Fighting,
                Struggling.
To feel at ease,
                         Comfortable.
Easy reaction.
             Instead of Calculated
                         Responses.
None of it has ever been easy.
                      Fumbling,
                                        Stumbling,
                    Mumbling
                                        Around.
Pretending to know all.
                                  Faulty Inflation.
So many things left unsaid
                Not told.
  Seems all things fabricated.
                Easy to distract
                          Complicated Mins.
Should know,
                        be Taught,
                                           Guided
On how to
                  Allow
       Self
               Flourishment.
'Alone'
           is a state
You.
           Decided
To Enter.
                  You.
Were not forced.
                              You.
Eliminated Love,
                    Care,
                    Friendship,
                    Happiness.
                                                                 You.
Have lost control of your
                                           Mind.
It's Essence
                    Has more
                                      Power
Than known to
                           Thy Self.
Do not forget that
                                You.
        Own it.
                      Can Take Back
                                Control.
Simply
             Step Back.
Physically if need be...
                         Remove yourself mentally.
Take a Look.
                        Notice the careful
                                                        Steps.
Change.
                           You.

ALLOW.
           SPEAK UP.
ONLY WITH
                        LOFTY THOUGHT.
REMEMBER,
                    OLD LESSONS?
AS CHILDREN.
               LEARN NEW.
BECOME VENTRILOQUISTS.
                     ORIGINAL?
    SPEAK ONE,
                               ACT ANOTHER.
                   NOT NOTICED...
                                             YET.

So many Thoughts.
     Put off for so long.
Need to
              Expel
Everything Quickly.
Need to feel
                       Peaceful
and more
                   as Self.
This sort of floating
          Energy
in my chest
      Needs to
Fill these pages.
           How to remember everything?
Attempt.

P  O  T  E  N  T  I  A  L
        What is it?
       
        Individually created?
        Outwardly Encouraged?
        Fear personal Gain?
        Self-built Courage?
Individually Realized.
Outwardly Expressed.
Fear finally Not Hiding.
Self-built
                 Potential.

Be all that was
               Trapped.
                               Confined to Brain.
Internalized.
                       Suddenly Free.
Take up
              Knowledge.
    DO NOT
                      LOSE FIGHT
Laid to rest too often,
                                     Too Long.
These senses,
           desires,
           passions...
                              Dreamt forever.
Not behind...
                        Only employ different
                                                       ­         Skills.
Absolute Attention.
                                      
Mind
           Functions New
                             Honest,
                             Pure.
Content.
