Member Poem

Another day 
Awakening to the sounds 
not of birds 
but dreams,screaming within
the confines 
of the mental state

Trying to destabalize me
Trying to compound
over weighting burdens
left from past years

I awaken confined
by my inner weakness
that i cant feeling
depression claiming
my physical being 

I scream to myself
what have i done 
that kharma has arrived
to punish me
that i should fall victim
to such an unjust penalty
then i realize

That my compassion 
for others has weakened
the shell of this warrior
allowed them to reach me 
from within 

Yet i find within myself 
that strength 
that projection of 
outter force 
that allows others 
to see the real me.
