Freedom (2)

The only truth you’ll ever know
Is that within your head,
So let your praising others go
And fete your own, instead.

That in itself’s an absolute,
And yet it’s of a kind
Which takes the only certain route
And leaves the rest behind.

And all that’s been has come to this –
The sorrow, joy and pain –
And yet it’s not as if you’ll miss
What you shan’t need again.

And, if you do express the need,
That, too, shall show that you’ve been freed.
