You will never know
How much of yourself
You have been giving away

Until you come back to yourself

That’s one of the shocking things
About waking up
You get to see everything
The veil is down
Eyes are wide open
It all becomes visible
All the patterns revealed
All the strategies seen

And suddenly they no longer serve you
And you find yourself naked and free
Naked because there is no need
To cover up who you really are
Free because you are no longer tied
To false beliefs or the imagination
You have seen through the illusion of personality
As the bastion of reality

And thus the game of giving yourself away
Is finished and done.
