Ode to the eternal self


You exist not with boundaries,

Your existence is open and free,

Neither chains nor iron shackles,

Nothing can bind thee.

Earthly desires pull you down,

Hate and regret trip your toes,

But you forge ahead nevertheless,

Sans happiness or woes.

Until you find your destiny,

A moment you do not rest,

Long after the journey has ended,

You walk on with renewed zest.
