Clutch Too Much

You've got to find inside for you,
The truth to embrace.
Wishing to eliminate to erase,
That which is not appreciated...
About the self can be destructive.
And to clutch too much on a crutch,
One should dissect to cut.

You've got to find inside for you,
The truth to embrace.
It's true,
One should do it.
And it's there.
It one reaches with an awareness.

It's true it's there.
But to clutch too much on a crutch,
One should dissect to cut...
Is not going to happen with wishes.
It has to be sought and faced to eliminate,
To allow all that one is...
To be!
