Searching for the lost you

Lost to you, is you, the true you.
You will know if you stop, pause, and listen to your own thoughts for a second
Ever occurred, you have lost yourself, and lost sense of time and reality
You have lost yourself to
Your insatiable greed, love of goods and money, gadgets, shoes, foods, celebrity gossips, social media, false sense of achievement, entitlement,TV, screens, feeling superior and satisfaction of putting others down
Slave to love of ‘God’ – that mythical figure who will figure it all out for you,
who will wash away all your sins, give you everything you pray for,
But instead, you pay for it
with your soul, your identity, your respect and beliefs
all given away blindly.
Deep beneath, you know it is all fake, and myth.
Ever thought, why?
Life is short
And the one you need to find, is yourself in you.
Your holy grail is not outside, its inside you,
there to be discovered
Deep inside you, buried in the pile somewhere,
is the child that is you, the true you that you have always neglected
waiting for you to find
waiting for you to un-slave.
