REALIZATION

there seems to be a reason
I keep ending up here
never with the same person
but always in the same place

repetitive and uncomfortable
I am finally reaching a point
where mediocrity is simply not enough
so I stand and I move forward

no longer will I allow myself to be placed
in this spiritual abattoir others call existence
no longer will I allow their ugliness
to mar the beauty of unreached potential
and unlimited, spiritual elevation

so I walk away from them and their need to
... suppress and oppress ...
... destroy and malign ...
anything that even hints at inner peace
and I revel in this latest manifestation of love
that He has bestowed upon me
