Contemplating contemplating those things I often do
Reflective practices of what it is to be me not you
Wondering what life has to show
Conflicting motivations for directions to go
Recognised conceptions of places I have been
Indications of those things somehow not seen
Acceptance of those incidents that have encroached
Withdrawn from interactions in personal mist growth
Forced to the surface those things back in mind
Imposed images of things no longer defined
Realisation of limits not reached
Examination of history once preached
Confusing of issues
Repression now seen
Removed are obstacles
Obscuring the dreams
Once again now visions
Of what is to come
Comfort in the knowledge
That this was the way
Things needed to be done
Safe is the concept of developing man
For I as an individual have done
All that I can
Not for you
Or the notion of greed
For mere longevity
The chance for others
To succeed
My heart is not mine own to give
No matter the motive
For it has lived a life
Experienced motivation
For love and stiff
Grown and hardened
To the cold facts of truth
Love being possessive
And reliant upon truth
Levels indicated of acceptance
Of me
Looking longing
For the person I could be
Haunted by visions of what have been
Anticipated guest the one in my dream
The hug I gave you
Was for your peace of mind
A reflection of the person
Behind
The one hidden
From others to see
The individual who
Introduced your heart
To me
You have taken
What no other has from me
A part that is yours
For all to see
Do what you will
With what was once mine
For it was your help
That enabled me define
Me
