This is not the path.
I am not your savior.
I’m every mistake
you’ll make,
until you find your way.
You’re so vulnerable
in the eyes
of a predator.
Watching you become strong,
ready soon
to meet the visitors.
Don’t hang
one person’s body
on the tree,
and treat it like
something to worship.
A little dose of reality
goes a long way
when tasting hardship.
You will never run
unopposed.
The picture
in front of your nose
only becomes clearer
when you realize
it’s a mirror
reflecting you, infinitely.
So,
don’t bet on me.
I’m still trying to
decipher myself.
If I guide you,
look to what I am not,
what I’ve done wrong,
for I am
an easier opponent
than an ally.
Tell the truth;
you always knew it, too.
I don’t blame
God,
or the Universe,
this curse,
is magic of my own conjuring.
Let your sight
be your own.
Let your life
live and grow.
Go,
do the impossible.
Pass through
that which is not a door,
and move
into someplace new.
Be a leader
whose aim is true.
HG – 2022
