Taoism

Taoism 

Where one seeks enlightenment by shutting off their emotions 

But how will that lead to enlightenment 

It’s our emotions, actions, and mistakes that lead to enlightenment 

Only by knowing the world and knowing yourself will lead to enlightenment

It is your mistakes that show you the path to walk

If we decide to reflect and change 

Or constantly torturing ourselves

It is our decision 

If you get rid of your emotions 

You won’t be able to reflect on your mistakes 

Or even know when you made one

It’s a flawed path that will lead you to becoming a demon

Not caring for the world

For the people 

For the animals

For the plants

We must accept all of it

We must put the world in our heart

We must put emotions in our hearts

Not just ours but everyone’s

For our heart is a world 

And when you try to shut that down

You kill everyone 

All the growth you have experienced 

All the people you’ve loved and cared for

For we must not shut down our heart

But open it for everyone to see

For you shall show everyone the world you’ve made in your heart

All the people you care about

All the lives you’ve affected 

Everything

When you show your world 

It will lead others to show theirs

For that is the way I will attain enlightenment 

That is the path I believe in and trust 

That

Is my path

  • words

    Words 

    They hold power

    Like a gun 

    But it’s our voices that give them power

    Words are an unloaded gun

    And our voices are the bullets 

  • Hardships

    Hardships

    It’s a path to salvation 

    And to demise 

    If you rise or fall

    Is up to you 

    Will you always be stuck in this swamp

  • Air conditioner

    A holy item in the summer

    Forgotten in the winter

    Able to save a house from the suns attacks

    An item that many wish they had

    And those who have them take it for granted
