I need freedom from…

the self- doubts that hold me back,

Toxic ties where connections lack,

Memories that frequently haunt,

Past failures that seem to taunt.

I need freedom from…

Grudges that my mind harbors,

Resentments that forever murmur,

Anger that at times blows untamed, 

Unwanted desires that can’t be tamed.

I need freedom from…

Caliginous paths that don’t carry chants of the divine,

Inflated egos that glorify I, me, and mine,

Illusory attachments that are far from true,

Materialistic things that prevent me from realizing YOU.
