B a r e d



What are we 

'neath the self-portraits we make of ourselves? 



Tell me.




Who 

do we become

when all that we consider to be us or ours

d  i  s  i  n  t  e  g  r  a  t  e  s 
  
into just plain 

us? 





Just you.

Just          me. 
 
A                          question.

 More                                  questions.

Questions                                         to come.




No use trying to be subtle.

 No use trying to be complex.





Life gives.

Life takes away.




 
Simple as that.


      

   
    
And the pain? 

The pain becomes the cure.

The cure to our naivety,

to our senseless pretending,

to our self-destructive pride.







It humbles us  

into the beings we  a r e.

      







And when we can finally look at ourselves 

and s  e  e

only then can we fully accept

the wisdom of our very 





existence.






Incomprehensibly 

beautiful,

with all our imperfections;

wounds,

scars,

bruises,

and even our  

darkness.






Why else will we yearn for the light

if we have not been 

in  

d a r k n e s s ?
