Making A Choice
All of my life, I have been a prisoner. the only difference today is that I am a prisoner of the state. My incarceration has taught me many lessons about life, loss and the inner workings of my own mind. After all, inside these walls you have plenty of time tp get acquainted with your thoughts and feelings. This is apparently so for all of us and I think the problem with most prisoners is that once they open that door they don’t like what they find . I know I didn’t at first.
When you are in a place like this, you strive to stay busy to avoide your ill-begotten fate. But once you have exhauseted all the means of distraction at your disposal, you inevitably are left alone in silence. This is when you are confronted by the demons of your past. Late, after all the lights have gone out, you find that you can hide from yourself no longer and you are presented two choices. You can either do as you have always done and run from the truth or you can seek an end to your suffering.
I chose the latter of the two. I am tired of running and I am fed up with the suffering of life. I must seek an answer. For too long, I have tried to be the person I believe other people wanted me to be. It is time to be ” the truth”
I have realized that the truth is not contained in any concept or code of conduct. Truth is natural and it is what’s let when all the “bull-sh**” has been washed away. It is one with every sensation that is woven tightly into the fabric of this moment which is endlessly unfolding in a perpetual state of change.This change must be understood to be beyond our control
Life itself is so much more complete when one relinquishes the inclination to impose their weill up ous. In allowing and observing the natural flow of life, its’ beauty is effortlessly displayed withing every passing breath and in understanding this fact. Looking at life, its’ totality (and all that encompasses it) you need not struggle any longer.. you are already free.
