life unlived

by Travis Sagitarius - Not entered

The calmness I feel
  reassures me of a knowingness 
  to come.
In the quit of my mind 
  lives a life yet unlived
  somehow bound by fears
  self imposed
One by one I would send them
  whence they came.
Yet it is so difficult
  to choose no fear than 
  the comfort of the fears themselves.
They are so much a part of my life
  born thru superficial experiences
  supported by society,
     more than supported...
      stated...
      encouraged...
      advertised...
      rallied and thrived upon.
Yet there is another experience,
  one that exist in stillness...
     in contemplation...
     in meditation...
     in truth...
     in love.
Experiencing these always
  is my life unlived.
