I am only a human.

Simply can't run away far from truth, 
For the truth is my only identity. 
Can't hide in compassion and ruth,
Making charity work my serenity. 

Many miles ago I confronted 
Painful falseness behind "true love".
How funny - all that I wanted
Was my pain to be gotten rid of...

But instead, I got badly entangled 
In duality of the light and the dark. 
In my mind I continued to wrangle
With my ego that screamed, yelled, and barked. 

I've been searching for personal freedom,
For my goodness, lost innocence, love.
Yet, again, I awakened the demon, 
That had suited me just like a glove.

No more fight, I surrender to purity
Of my heart, true intentions, and mind. 
I gained trust in my own security
To stay graceful, be patient, and kind. 

I deserve my attention and care, 
No less than those that I've helped. 
I am strong, self-respecting, aware. 
No more need for the tears or yelp...
