I want....."I".....want.......turns into "I need!"

For so long I have been a slave
to my own mind's "wanting".

Obeying all its/mine thoughts,
only from fear of the temptation's haunting.

Within my own mind,
I weld the shackles that blind my wings.

From these thinking thoughts is only emptiness,
and I'm aware but still chasing after empty things.

Why am I a slave to myself?

I thought that God granted free will to all man-kind......
....now I wonder if I'm man's kind.

But within the power of "Now"
....within the power of my "Being,"
I realized that not wanting to want is still a want,
I have been looking but now I'm seeing.

Be aware....be aware..."BE"......awareness!
