You'll Always Have You

We speak too often
Because we cannot stand
To face ourselves...
The secret self that lives on the inside.

We run too often
But we cannot hide
From the reality
And totality of who we really are.

We search
The world outside ourselves
To find the answers
That only ever lie within

Our search
Brings us always home empty,
Disheartened, lost...
Until we find that spark inside.

If we pay attention
It’s that spark
That peels away the layers
Of all that is illusive and unreal in this world.

Take the time
To know yourself,
To love yourself,
And trust yourself.

Don’t fear the silence,
Never fear the stillness,
No matter what you think you do not have,
You’ll always have you.
