So the way clarity functions
is that you need to leave your shell,
put in your perspective
the truth your soul held,
which was that any identity
that you may or may not have
is constructed from the remnant and debris
of fossilized traditions and institutions of greed.
Let go of everything, they say.
Let go of everything and give in to the truth.
But you lose yourself as a part of the journey,
and that's way too steep of a price due.
I mean, what am I to do, fulfilled
yet empty, void of all individuality,
just jaded and immersed
in a mist of blissful agony,
holding on to a false sense of reprieve
that may escape me the moment
I stop any of these rituals I practice daily,
and I see how fragile this really is.
Maybe the key to this locked safe
is tucked away somewhere else.
Maybe there is a way for me to find an answer
without saying yes to every doctor
with medicine in hand,
diagnosing me as sick.
Maybe the answer lies in accepting my truth,
that I'm climbing a rose stem,
and I should stop ruminating over every *****
