The Self

The Self

A Poem by Balance
"

A reflection on spirituality

"
Love yourself and be happy.
You can, you have total control.
The world you live in can become a dark place,
If you yourself are a dark person.
The world that your mind perceives,
Is strictly based on your thoughts.
How beautiful would it be to always be happy?
To always be at peace with everything among you?
It is nothing that can't be achieved,
To achieve what you want is to just achieve yourself.
There should be no want/desire,
The self doesn't posses such traits, Those belong to the mind.
The self only exists; peacefully, and beautifully, for all eternity.
Find the self.

Well put. I believe that however one views themselves, is how they view the entire world. Great Job.
