I Quit

i quit trying to save the world... and just offered my hand, and walked beside it. i quit trying to find the truth, for it was already within me. i quit trying to tell anyone anything, and just listened in perfect stillness. i quit trying to be religious, and found the sacred in the common. i quit trying to stop the wars, and let the wars within me end! i quit trying to find god, and just looked in the mirror. i quit fighting for freedom, and found a freedom they couldnt take. i quit shouting out for justice, and walked in a way that was just. i quit wanting to own anything, and so broke the final bonds. i quit trying to be what they wanted, and decided to be myself. i quit blaming, condemning, and accusing, and took the responsibility on myself. i quit trying to make myself a name, and walked in nobody's shoes. i quit staring from behind the bars, that were never really there. i quit seeking to define and hold, and just let go and lived. i quit hiding from death, and opened the door, and found the light from which darkness is made!
