Resistance

You created your own intense storm

Of fear and suffering with your thoughts

Never seeing the part you played

In reacting in that way

God knows you knew great pain

In their presence so why was it

You slunk back like a battered dog

Looking for more of the same?

The path of understanding and regret

Is a painful and stony one to tread

But it is yours so you must find a way

To freedom now

Sure enough your wounded past is gone

But if all of the captivating tendrils of that live on

Deep inside of you

Will you use your thoughts to tie those painful knots

Tighter

Or will you just let thinking go

Center in your breath

And remember that today

Represents a brand new opportunity to

Think and react in a brand new way

One that leads instead

To calmer path

Of serenity

Inner peace

And freedom
