Inspirium: Be

April 12 at 7:55 PM

Can we have some truth
For a change
A little transparency
Honesty
Conviction

Is it too much to ask?

Stop lying
To yourself
Come clean
If you cannot be
True
To yourself
How can you expect others
To be honest
With you?

I’m not asking you
To set yourself free
You’re free to choose
On your own accord
But what I need
Is for you
To choose the right thing
Now

I’m not asking you
To smooth things over
Make me feel better
I’m not asking
For your time
Your money
Your love
Nor tears

All I’m asking
Is for you to listen
To yourself
Give it some thought
Then get back on track
And surge forward

Is this really too much to ask?

There’s no sense
In dragging this out
Any longer
Another year
Misguided
Misdirected
Unchallenged
Unhappy
Off course

The key of truth
Lies within
Yet you ignore it
A thousand times over
Disregarded
As if
It were never there

Take it in your hands
Yes
These hands
Turn the key
In its lock
Whatever you find
Inside
Is yours
All of it
Yours
It cannot be
Anything less
Than you
Than
The truth

For you are great
Wise
Beautiful
Inspiring
If only
You’d let yourself
Be
