Unravelling

Whatever you may think, deep inside our souls, we’re not made
To diminish others, just to make ourselves feel tall.
It does not need the adoration you demand,
To know it’s loved.

Maybe that is why, you are
Unravelling.

Whatever you may think, deep inside, our souls do not need
To make up truths and promote distorted perspectives,
So that it looks as if we’re better and more right;
To feel valued.

Maybe that is why, you are
Unravelling.

Whatever you may think, deep down, our souls do not require
To surround themselves with people willing to comply,
Putting aside their conscience, or their ear to facts,
To get our way.

Maybe that is why, you are
Unravelling.

Whatever you may think, deep inside, our souls do not need
To hurt others in order to protect us from pain,
Pretending to give, when really we want to take,
To build esteem.

Maybe that is why, you are
Unravelling.

Whatever you may think, deep down, your soul really knows,
That whilst the contrast you’ve provided has its purpose,
Stoking up hatred and self-interest all around,
Just is not love.

Maybe that is why, you are
Unravelling.

Whatever you may think, deep down, your soul already knows,
This version of who you are, is not what does you good.
There are other options, now your creation is
Falling apart.

Maybe it is time to start
Discovering.
