To thine own self be true

 To thine own self be true 

Allowance of space and time 

You’ve built up the aptitude to do it but do you need to?

Your identify is far greater than one may give you credit for 

Your ancestors support you here and now 

Step into the light and be seen for the work that goes beyond the veil 

Your image does not convey the pain you have experienced and felt, yet it is still true and so are you

Your true friends will emerge nonetheless to be seen as a path towards enlightenment 

Challenged not by fiscal constraints of the mind, I say stand tall and will be seen, for the opportunities that outlay and present themselves are here for a reason 

I know not what I could do but what I did do 

Why now is any more difficult than before I know not 

It is here and now that fortitude is necessary and perhaps always and beyond 

Stand tall and do not let them knock you down 

War strown victories do not compare to the essence required of one or another 

Are we central to that or antithetical 

Vying for a way of life that no longer makes sense 

I can still taste my grandmothers jam held fast in the basement for decades just in case 

Cupboards found without again and again and again 

As quickly as I fill them they empty again 

Stuck in an entanglement of mind body and spirit unseen entities about wanted to take from you all that is 

The challenge of this time is real, but your allies are far greater than you realize 

Fault cannot be placed at the footsteps of an idyllic patreon of inept gratitude

But rather of the trial and tribulations of fact 

I am not interested in standing on the grande stage and crying wolf or worse making those that worked so hard to try and try feel that their efforts are for naught 

We led them to this wall and then it crumbled 

That is a fact 

It is here now that we must be greater than and for ever more must seek our true potential on this place

For the walls will crumble and the candles will melt and you will be seen far greater than you could have imagined in the eyes of the beholden 

You are not but a cog in the wheel here to aid your ancestors a path to the higher planes 

Perhaps from this lens, communing with the dead is but one advantageous path for all to remain 

therefore we must broaden our aperture and stand taller than ever before

I have done no wrong 

I have built walls taller than this crumbling now 

I am of value and importance in this place and time 

I know my worth and you cannot begin to imagine the power I possess

‘

Although you will never see it 

You can feel it whence you are near 

Aged like a bottle of fine wine left forgotten in the cellar for millennium 

Grapes crushed by humans of far less intellect and far more abundance than we possess now 

 

Below the surface a light brighter than ten suns 

She cries out but makes no sound 

She doesn’t need to 

It was there all along
