There is a painful realisation
that we need to go through
to become who we truly are.

But we distract ourselves
with temporary pleasure,
a sign that we are not ready
to become who we truly are.

Thus we never face the reality
of the pain we are in now,
and ultimately neglect
and post pone our liberation
to become who we truly are.

We must die to be truly alive.
That which dies is our evil nature,
that which is reborn is our true nature.
Then the illusion of who we think we are fades
and we become who we truly are.
