It wasn’t about me

It wasn’t about me All the shit that happened I was just the bystander That got covered in the faeces as it flew And I was the one who ended up smelling bad And then feeling like i could not stand up

Lost wondering and wandering I did not know how my soul was crying out for a home But until I addressed all the pain from the past A lot of which wasnt even mine How could I find or build that home

Now I know I must Even if it means I have to stand alone

I stood by and tried to help Those who were drowning And I nearly drowned myself My heart had infinite compassion for the lost child trapped inside it all that was thousands of years old Passed from body to body Rejected neglected ignored

Fate said to me : You must uncover this child Wash her clean You must hold this child Love this child Know this child Who is ages old But this hurting child I carried was not really mine alone Though it was mine to disover and uncover

Yet wisdom shows me in more peaceful moment that underneath it all lives a golden child who glows Who knows how joyous it is to dance With knowing of the stars In her eyes This little one so full of love But oh so often unprotected  Let me now take her by the hand and say :

Little one remember what pain is not yours to carry You can care and you can love But find your freedom Outside of it too For there is no life in the barren place and spaces Or with those who say they want to know the deep soul truth but then reject it in you As they lack the wisdom necessary to pierce through illusion

And if they judge you Just walk on by  Keep the knowing of who you really are Burning bright inside Like a glowing fire To keep you warm  And remember always the star stuff you are made of  Let you spirit fly and find your home in that vast reality where larger wisdom lives So far from earthly human care
