Google can’t help,
Reddit can’t help
Unless you want to be an average,
The collective can’t help you
Nor can an individual,
But it’s a great tale:
The Mickey Rourke, saved by the Marissa Tomei –
It’s a great lie, that you can be saved by some girl or some guy:
Another’s love can not save you, cannot make you whole,
Impossible…
‘A Star is Born’, and he hangs himself in the end,
Never knowing how to be his own best friend
Pain, repression, denial, fear, worry,
All the dragons one must slay – they stand within
And you must face them within:
Without the crutches..
The wine, the weed, the woman – the funhouse mirrors – social media too…
As if they can show you a better side of yourself,
As if happiness isn’t health!
So the sage returns to the basics:
Food, water, breath, sweat, sleep, meditation, hard work – repeat
The means to get out of debt with Self,
So there is no longer, “I owe myself some high, some sojurn as reward” (…oh my)
Slippery slope,
When one needs escape to cope
You don’t need to get away,
You need to come back home
Where you’re peacefully alone,
Giving yourself that radical forgiveness, that raw self-love, which connects thee to the above
Your medicine is Grace;
The space for your inner child to play is how the dragons are slain
Homeostasis, balance,
In your nutrient fed brain.
