poem ~ it looks to me

It looks to me
like you’re hiring fear
Because of what you pay for it
in the life that you hold dear.

It looks to me
that fear is an amazing friend
Because of how close
you keep it near in the end.

It looks to me
that fears one of your friends
Because of how well
you keep in touch with them.

It looks to me
that you’ve made boundaries a wall
You hide behind
even tho its no protection at all.

It looks to me
that you are agreeing with your chains
Believing that freedom
isn’t the promise that it brings.

It looks to me
that you think this is what you really want
Because the life that you keep living
leaves you forever on the hunt.

It looks to me
that you think the secret in life
Is what you can achieve
or call yours with pride.

It looks to me
that no matter what you see
You believe that happiness exists
somewhere outside of thee.

It looks to me
that if you would stop and just be
You’d see that the life you want
is the spot right where you are standing with me.
