DRIFTING
 

There is no truth in the world we live,
there is no final answer,
there is no one to validate,
there is no nod of approval.

We each, at our center, at our core,
have the only truth we'll ever know,
that truth comes in our feelings,
as such we validate what we believe.

We are what we decide we are,
we do, and we feel, and are moved by,
the tiny WHAT at our core,
our center of truth and of being.

For all we do, and all we don't do,
for all we believe, or can't believe,
for all we know as positive,
or all we feel as negative,
it is for each of us to decide.

For when you pray,
it is your decision to do so,
for if you believe,
that you also decide.

We each captain our own ship,
we each judge our own thoughts,
we each govern our own actions,
we each hold the key to our own cell.

Things enter our minds,
millions in a lifetime,
we decide which to feed,
we decide which will affect us.

There is nothing outside,
that is the reason for you,
it is all contained within,
it is the YOU at the core.

The things you dread,
the things you fear,
the things you shy and hide from,
only YOU know the why.

The things you love,
the things you live for,
the things that excite,
the SAME YOU knows why also.

Your truth, your validation,
for all you say and do,
your reason for ALL you do,
your entire lifetime is YOU.
