Beyond opinion Beyond blame There is so much So much pain So much fear So much shame Hiding behind other names And what are we to do When we are in so much fear? It is so often easier To point a finder To find someone else To blame Someone to make the enemy Someone to hang as a marytr For what we see is "wrong" And perhaps we find ourselves Holding with all our might To our perception With so much conviction To what we believe is true What we "know" as fact! And if only the "others" Could see what we see And "know" what we know Then perhaps this nightmare could end And we could go back to life as we know it before So we try to convince We try to teach We try to show Show them they're wrong Bring all the "facts" With "proof" Convince our selves of our right-ness With righteous indignation Trying to wake others up To the "truth" that we "know" When really no one Really knows But it's too scary to admit that Admit to ourselves That we don't actually know anything It's too terrifying to look inside And admit That we really don't know It's all perception It's all opinions. Until we show Show how we feel Own we are scared Own we are afraid And that underneath Out attachment to our truth Is a desperate plea Is a terrifying truth That life is fragile That "death" comes to all That we cannot control others To make ourselves feel safe It's not actually a solution But if we could look at our fears Really look at them And death in the face Breathe and keep breathing Miracles can happen And if you stay with it Don't be surprised If you find yourself On the other side of fear On the otherside Of what you thought was "truth" Finding yourself A little less scared A lot less afraid Standing in a new "truth" With less need To be right To be safe To know.
