The ultimate proof being self realization
An arduous journey,
one which i already know?
Surely so, for I have travelled along
many paths.
Three lifetimes of experience
in twenty seven short years-
this being proof-
proof of survival
proof of my being
proof of everything
In God's eyes
Maybe I don't see things the same way
through my eyes
Knowledge is born of experience
I am led to believe,
but the twists and turns
of my progression
often lead to my regression.
The end of the beginning
the beginning of the end.
A starting point and ending point
with no inbetween,
just one continuum
of the same me.
The 'me' i often think of as a mere fabrication,
a concoction of thoughts and actions
that determine who i am to the outsider.
This 'me' that appears acutely self aware,
this whole 'me',
the 'me' full to the brim of ultimate proof-
but the ultimate proof i harbour inside
is one i cannot let you see
for this ultimate proof
is what really makes me 'me'
Stripped bare with no reflections to
image myself from
I am left with this
proof of survival
proof of my being
knowledge of what
knowledge of how
But who?
I'm still looking for the ultimate proof.
Is this about a person (possibly one that I know)? If it is then this is a dynamic tribbute. If I am wrong then this is a spoken word masterpiece. Either way, you have penned perfection. You are truly talented. Keep doing your do's!
Standing O! This had "Open MIC" written all over it. Very well done!
