A Thousand Lifetimes
Are you ready to finally
Forgive yourself for everything
Or are you going to
Remain trapped
A prisoner of your ego
Still unworthy
Not suffered enough
Unable to do enough
Good
In the second half of life
To balance the first
If that’s your thinking
Then you are still stuck
Unable to move forward
You made mistakes
You hurt people
Family and friends
And they hurt you too
It’s okay
Let it go
Forgive everyone who ever
Did you wrong
And in return
Forgive yourself
Freedom is a gift unearned
Thoughts
I write this and fancy myself some kind of spiritual genius. Then I read it back and realise I need to shut up.
