It has all been a lie
No one is safe or secure
How can we be?
When life itself is insecure

An impossible battle
Day after day
Fighting to stay at peace
Sick of living this way

Peace of mind, my addiction
Through metaphysics, solitude, and Truth
An uncomplicated life
Devoid of people, devoid of trust

The greatest realization yet
“All security is imagined”
“All security is illusion”
With Osho's words it happened

Up is what I give
The fighting and struggling
Sucking the life out of life
Refusing to be too trusting

Closed off to vulnerability
Yet wanting it so bad!
Another illusion.. I had no control
No matter how perfect, of thoughts I had

I didn't get the message
Today it came suddenly clear
The mirror, Truth, it was all a game
I am no longer here
