About a girl
There's this girl
And she's really strong of heart and really weak of mind.
She gives herself openly to others.
Tells them: "Take me as I am or don't".
She's honest with them and she lies to herself.
She wants to know the truth, which is stored somewhere in the less palpable thoughts of her mind.
She wants to be told the truth that she already knows,
Because only then can she begin the awareness process.
Awareness of her current state and how this state will impact all aspects of her future self,
The one she's being trying to become for quite some time.
Her future self will be the one that comes to accept the current self,
Because the current self is going to deny, is going to go against, is going to reject the future state.
This is all a part of the process.
Layer upon layer, will begin to unfold,
Until she's facing the center of herself and that becomes her state.
Then, she can look this state squarely, maybe roundly,
And know then what she does not know now.
That she can control it.
Control.
Self control.
She will gain this and she will respect herself more than ever when it happens.
When it happens she will forgive herself and then, yes, only then,
Will the process of self love begin and continue.
In the moment that she comes to knows herself, accept herself, and learns to control herself,
She will pleased with her self.
She will be able to face all sorts of challenges that merit her self control.
She will do so gracefully and without an ounce of rage
Because by this point all potential bouts of rage will have dissipated
And left her full of grace, full of peace, joy, loving kindness, all towards her self,
So that she may give it to others and help them recognize themselves,
No mirror necessary, just self confrontation, with concentration.
If we try to do this, so that we may come to love ourselves, we can change.
It may be the greatest challenge we face.
But please avoid the anxiety, and
Simply, carry on.
