she told me

i asked for a lesson & she told me
she had nothing to show me
i had been looking for so long with out me
i had no reference point/ forgot all i needed was
within
there is nothing on the outside that you need
i asked her for a lesson & she told me
to mine my soul
to extract the truth from within
and there i would find the lesson i sought
she had nothing to show me
but placed her hands on my shoulder
and turned me towards the mirror.
showing me nothing
but allowing me to see
the answers
the reasons
the lessons
are within
me...
