I AM My Own God

Why would I seek a source outside of me

for strength, for love, for sight?

Why would I imbue another with the ability or

the responsibility to care for me?

Why would I seek to counter reason with

fantasy and fiction?

Why would I give up on the reality that persists

to indulge in groundless wishful thinking?

There is no God in place to run and rule,

so I step in and fill the void.

I AM not a child....

I AM not helpless....

I AM not prone to hysterical fairy tales calming me.....

I AM not unhappy or without value...

I AM not required to mirror the masses...

I AM complete, and the best head of this life I am living.

No more divisions between self

and higher understanding.
