if we look further
past the small
nothings
that occupy
the tender parts
of our mind,
the tiny thoughts
that restrict,
we find
common ground.
we see that we are all
in the same boat,
floating off
through the void
of consciousness.
we find that holding others
back, keeping them
from their path
is nothing more
than trying to fulfill
the restrictions
we have put upon
ourselves.
but it is our individual
encounters
that guide us
in our learning.
to hinder someone
for their path
takes away
our own progress.
it's a losing battle
that detours us all
from our destinations.
as long as no one
gets hurt on the trail
that life has set
before them,
then what reason
would there be
to distract them
from their course?
we all endure
the emotions
thrown our way.
we suffer
at our own hands.
we suffer
at the hands of others.
we feel joy.
we smile.
sometimes
we frown.
but at the end
we can only
live life
the way we intend
without getting
too caught up
in the turmoil
others place
in our way.
be as good
of a person
as you can,
and keep
the obstacles
to yourself.
it is in this thought
that we teach ourselves
compassion,
justice,
truth and triumph.
it is in this idea
that we live
immortal,
learning like
there is no other moment
than right now.
we must teach others
the lessons of
compassion
and kindness.
we must school them
in the ways of
acceptance.
the greatest lesson of all
is learned through
embracing curiosity.
the greatest life lived
is the life of your own,
not living through others
and hoping to copy,
or distract them
from
their way.
