What a relief that the true self
always lies beneath the false self!
We do not need to seek, only dismantle!

To think that I can be me, just as I am

Posted on October 29, 2019 by Meisaan Chan

To think that I can be me, just as I am
chips and cracks and glories and all
is an incredible thought;
it’s like that singular moment
where, after wearing shackles
you freeze in nakedness, disbelieving your freedom
and then you believe
and then you run

As the gaze imprints upon the mind
so my voice imprints upon your soul
Imprints: Nothing can remove
