They scare my simplicity
Take away my obsessions
They scorch my soul
Take away my ambitions
They push me around
Take away my comfort
It makes me slothful
Take everything away
And give me back myself
Give me back my emptiness...
O Absolute energy! O Ultimate consciousness! Grant me the fearlessness to be myself. Grant me the courage to face every change and uncertainty of life with strength and honor. Grant me the knowledge to keep my body and mind healthy and strong. Grant me the wisdom to keep my mind balanced in highest of rewards and harshest of situations. Bless every moment, every breath of my life with learning and growth. The moment this learning and growth stops, let that moment be the end of my life. Amen!

Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?

Just curious to know whether you've regained yourself. Very nice poem. It's so often that we feel this way, but I've never attributed being myself to emptiness. But I suspose we are all a responsibility to at least one thing, if no more than having to breath, and should we rid ourselves of all responsibilities, attachements, etc; we are left with emptiness. Thanks for sharing.
