The Desire to Be Known

This earth, this place,

With its limited resources.

As children we fought for them,

Hurting each other in the process.

And as adults,

Supposedly healthy adults.

We hurt each other and even kids,

As we continue to fight.

We are so vulnerable and broken,

We can't even expose our needs.

A dark and desolate cave,

Protects our needs from cruelity.

...

Who will be the courageous soul,

Who journeys into the depths,

Fighting off their own demons,

Slaying the fear dragons?

Who will shed their own burdens,

Let go of their own boundaries,

To expose their inner being,

The requirements of intimacy.

Who will chart the course,

To make it to the final core,

I will leave tools, tips, and tricks,

And wait forevermore.
