Everybody 6/20/2022

Questions about me
The me
Found within
In my compassionate heart.

Struggling to answer
My frustration
As I ponder on it
Within a meditative state
Of awareness.

I am original
Or just pretending
To be another
Not seeing me
For who I am
Within my human self.

Everybody
Who lives
On planet earth
Evidentially asks
This question
About themself.

Many answers
Will bubble up
But only one
That’s authentic
Will surface
And connect to
Who you are.

No other
Can answer this question
Only you must
Seek within
To find it
For yourself.

Listen to the guidance
Speaking as
The Soulful Self
Be kind and gentle
As you discover
Who you are.

Accept being unique
And similar
To “everybody”
You encounter
Realizing
We connect with all.
