Mindfully conscious of who imposes <br />Such tight control, and why, I reveal <br />The potential real me, sensibly go <br />Underground for a while and conceal <br />Any awareness of take-over motive <br />Designed to batten me down. I just smile <br />And sensing my own informed aura, know <br />How to bide time before a beguiling <br />Question I raise, as to who is wiser, <br />The fool who allows control, or the clown <br />Who faces possession and disguises <br />Mirth at the notion of being brought down. <br />Discerning the awesome power in me <br />As an amazing person with choice, life <br />Becomes meaningful, with reason to see <br />That sensing freedom brings enlightenment.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sense-of-myself/
