wanting to please
can be
a strong urge
perhaps not obvious
to change
what can be changed
is who we wish
to please
advice
when every advice received
feels inappropriate
giving advice might not be
the appropriate approach
to life
overwhelmingly
when every effort is spent
hiding truth
not only do life become
overwhelmingly complicated
it also loses
its essence
and little by little
everything is lost
misinterpreting
the frustration of feeling
misunderstood
misinterpreted
hence
misled
is suffocating
embarrassment
laying the cards on the table
can be both vulnerable
and uncomfortable
can open into what seems
an embarrassing silence
though in that very embarrassment
truth can be found
projection
tuning in on the present
might be less flattering
than projecting towards an illusion
though
more real
compulsion
expressing an emotion
can be a way
to gain awareness
and acknowledge it
though the essential part
is still
to let it pervade
every layer of
the being
until it reaches the surface where
it can simply
evaporate
allowing to act
from wisdom
rather than compulsion
dead
where wonder
no longer grows
everything is dead
trustful
being in control
is being in power
being trustful
is being in love
love is mending
and fear is falling
apart
bile
when bile is irrigating the thoughts
bitterness sprouts
and a certain kind of hopelessness
grows dense
though
bile
as bitterness
in its harmonious measure
is in the contrary adding depth
to what otherwise stays
plain
