Self-Created

 

All these people you are concerned about,
Did they create you?
— al Ghazāli

 

Self created
mind blown
Shall I become
the image that you all see?
You each describe me
as blind men describe an elephant
mistaking the part you know
for the whole.

 

Self created
unchanged
by the demands
towards conformity
I am too busy
discovering myself to live
up to the expectations
of others

 

Self created
yet inspired
that you care
enough to see me at all
perhaps in time
you’ll see beyond the mold
you’ve cast
and it may set us free
— G A Rosenberg

 

Blessings, G
