radiant

it is a waste of time

for someone who was born

radiant

trying to shine

dishonesty

dishonesty

does not necessarily mean

telling a lie

but it does create a considerable base

for profound misunderstandings

and unreliability

perseverance

facing reality

is not always the most gratifying experience

at first glance

but it might be

a liberating experience

when practiced regularly

and with perseverance

guilt

working through

massive layers of guilt

can indeed be considered

a waste of time

in times of war

but if the source of the war

is to be found

in the very same layers

of guilt

there might be a certain

sense to it

hypocrisy

defining the nuance between

denying oneself and

self-denial

might be an interesting exercise

to practice

until the nuance is clear as

a cutting edge

separating hypocrisy

from generosity

wise

learning to be wise

can be a long journey

learning to reach the wisdom

we already carry within

as well

after

breaking down

breaking up

breaking through

breaking in

breaking over

sometimes it seems indeed

without end

yet after every break

is a different life

more

more wind

haunting through the night

more pain

coming to the surface

liberating space for light

to shine
