Dating : These Things I Know to be True

a poem

If you think inside the box
you might be rich, but

If you think outside of it
you’ll be happy

If they can sell you their products
you’ll have more possessions, but

If you live simply
you’ll be free

If you wear a mask
you’ll be pretty, but

If you don’t
you’ll be loved for who you are
you’ll be in your integrity

If you parrot the black and white dichotomies
you’ll fit in, but

If you trust in your unique knowing and wisdom
you’ll live through your creative authenticity
