Healing Our Self Inflicted Emotional Wounds
Most of us are walking
Wounded
Unaware how we got here
Looking for happiness
Desiring simple pleasures
Wherever
All the time
Desires laying down
The stepping stones to expectations
Of becoming this
Of becoming that
Having this
Of having that
Expectations unmet
In a fertile field
Sowing seeds of sorrow
Growing into weeds
Of anger and frustration
Sorrow, anger and frustration
Weapons of self-inflicted
Wounds
Physical and Emotional
Walking
Wounded
Unaware how we got here
Healing begins by
Locating
The compassionate observer
In us
I am grateful to Anuva Kalawar, artist and writer, for composing the term Locating the compassionate observer.
