I know this struggle…

     …so very well. - ’Been here too long not to.

…this struggle against yourself…, you know the one,
the one you’ve had to fight so relentlessly all this time.
It’s not insurmountable by any means, but you have to decide.
Let it get ahead of you or grab and roll past like in a roller derby.

It has no power over you, but you have to step up to the plate.
Don’t be a victim and languish in its mud of defeat & surrender.
Get up right now…, make up your mind! - You know it’s true.
Don’t let it get past you this time…, but ya’ gotta’ go within.

If you don’t, it’s all been a waste…, of life & regret in time.
You can get past this, but ya’ gotta’ stand up beyond the “norm.”
That’s right, it’s all within…, deep within…, always has been.
You’ve always known this inside, but never figured it out before.

I know this struggle. - It’s nothing new to seekers.
But this struggle will never be entered into by most,
for they have never keened for nothing less than truth.
Surely truth is the staff of life at all levels…,

…but you can never tell them that, not as they
engage in other struggles not worth the stamp of life…,
…dead while yet they live, self-made zombies…, roaming.
This is the “zombie apocalypse…,” all the lost ones. - •selah•

Go within…, for “pursuits” otherwise have no meaning…, at all.+
