how many do you wear?
do you even know that
you are wearing them?
can you see through all
the other masks?
or does it become a confusion
you cannot extricate yourself
from?
entertaining the thought
that you have many masks
is a beginning.
which ones bring you strength?
truth?
peace?
equanimity?
which ones pull you
deep into delusion?
lost in casting yourself as
a victim?
lost in hedonistic pleasure?
seemingly fun... but
at its core
suffering in another
mask....
chasing highs
never stopping
never going inward
never finding the silence
living in fear
attracting spirits
that feed off of fear.
how to climb out?
a practice lived with
great faith
a practice lived with
great doubt
great motivation
ensues
truth revealed
bliss realized.
