7-7-24

Living in a world ruled by numbers,

Ruled by judgement, measurement, achievement.

I just can’t do it anymore, make more, work more, sound better,

Look better, weigh less, take more steps than yesterday.

I have ignored my soul for the sake of vanity.

I must find my way back to this moment.

It is only in this moment that I can experience acceptance.

Forsake all measurements and achievements,

All my hidden desires for more, more,more, less, less, less.

I am so easily lost, a compliment, or an insult, and I become

Disconnected, unbalanced, and obsessive.

Learning once again that the only chance I will ever have of

Being at peace with myself, is learning to live from that deeper

Place within, that lives in the now, and knows only acceptance.
