SSY

The way the concept was drilled in
It’s a neural path in my brain that is deeply etched
Whatever happens, whoever happens
There is no more the helpless plea
‘Why did this happen to me’
‘Why did so and so say this or that’
Now it is always, what did I do or not do
To have this happen.
Thought it would be a burden.
But to the contrary, it is liberating
Sets you free, for another is not
The cause of your pain.
You have only yourself to question
It’s an inward journey for which
You are the river, the oar,
The boat, the boats man,
No one to blame no, one to question.
Unquestioned freedom.
