The idea of you.
Who you are
in this world,
or the next.
In this moment,
a distillation
of a thousand years
of ancestors.
But you’re
just starting to fade.
Who are you?
Riddle in your consciousness
tricks you
into believing
you’re the truth,
or that you know
who you really are,
but your consciousness
doesn’t even know
what it is, so…
What if I told you
it doesn’t matter?
What if I told you
not to worry?
The things you do not know
about yourself
will always outnumber
the things you do,
and that’s okay.
Be a mystery
to yourself.
Allow you
to uncover your secrets.
Enjoy
each and every moment
that you are here,
because only you
will ever feel
the love, and the pain,
the hope, and the fear,
the night and the day.
Your eyes,
are yours alone,
unavailable to any other.
You were created
one of a kind.
Don’t ever doubt
your inherent value.
The idea of you,
who you are,
is a sacred,
and precious thing.
So glad
to have you with us;
whoever you are.
