The Process of Becoming

The Process of Becoming

Change is the only constant

Yet we resist it hard

We strive to find our happy place

To live there all the while

Unrealistic expectation

To stay in one emotion

Besides what would we be

If we only stayed the same

A statue of a human

A being with no flow

Stagnant in our misery

Refusing to let go

Exhibiting the fear

Dividing us from our soul

Not seeing the divinity

Still there unseen

It reunites us all

I have struggled in my journey

The fight with death and life

A process of awakening

Connecting me to soul

Before I took this challenge

I knew it would be tough

The physical restrictions

Symptoms not making sense

Being scared I won't find love

Yet love is all around me

Waiting for me to dive right in

Surrender to my living

So I don't die alive

I flow in my becoming.

While I was gone
I sat upon the poor man's throne
In a state of omphaloskepsis
An old new word I love
Meaning navel contemplation
I let go of some shit
Metaphorical literally
I flushed it all away
Washed myself of it
Wisdom doesn't follow rules
Society decided to inflict
It looks beyond the veil of lies
Letting go to jump right in the flow
We become just what we think
Often not actually who we are
Remember look beyond it all
To find the truth that hides.
