To go deep within
Takes great courage
However, when we really look
Hidden within us is a great desire to be loved
As we are
Instead of there being a big hairy monster
There is actually just a part of us
That wants to be noticed
To be seen
To be heard
What has kept us separated from our true selves
Has not been an outside force
But our own unwillingness to look within
At the parts that need our attention the most
In recognising this for ourselves
We can truly delve into our truth
With a deep desire to know ourselves
With love
Creating deep peace within us
Knowing we can hold ourselves
In any given moment
Allowing truth to run deep
Deep within our souls
All this time we have been looking outside ourselves
When, all this time
What we truly desire
Has been within us
Waiting for our recognition
Unconditional love
In any given moment
Every part of us
With deep embrace
And acceptance
