Simple little poem

Sometimes I feel inspired to write a poem. They are generally simple and rhyme.

My life

Truth is love, if that is how you want it to be
I am love because that is how I want to be seen
I feel am joy for everything and all earth beings
Love is God, at least according to my praying

One day I was born, didn't know what to do
Back then I knew what was true
Wah, wah, is all I knew what to say
Then experiences made me lose the way

Growing up all I wanted was to be strong
and constantly being told I was wrong
I did my best to be good enough
it was easy to believe the bad stuff

One day feeling my thirties near
Trapped in my prison of fear
That day I finally said no more
I walked out of the prison's door

I see why they this is just a dream
Nothing is as bad as it seems
Having that realism is such relief
All my suffering was caused by belief

Sometimes I wonder how could I miss
That life can be spent in constant bliss
Something so simple is so effective
All it takes is a change in perspective

It all does not matter, it is just an illusion
Believing in my thoughts just causes confusion
Quite the mind and reduce the resistance
Surrender with endless persistence
