15th April TSL Napowrimo's prompt
"Turning inwards is not more or new."
Yes, turning inwards is not more or new
It is absolutely needful
Take the knife and open a window
On your chest and look in at/to your heart
If you have courage, be bold, clear-eyed
When you turn in you see the truth
That you are nobody and nothing
It is a black hole inside
It is emptiness made more void, waste, chaos, and darkness
Viciousest vices, sins, perversion/s, worstnesses, what not!
Pitch and tar, and hellfires burning
The need to seek honour, get credit, be praised
The need to be loved, to belong, and be accepted
The idolatries of the superficial, shallow, selfish spirit and soul
The need to receive flattery true or false that stinks to high heaven
There is nothing good in there
Nothing you can use to help anyone
Least of all yourself
All inside good for only one thing
To be condemned to death entirely
Turn in, tune out, drop by, do
And then in your utter helplessness and hopelessness
Having found nothing new with which to build something about which to rejoice
Having no provender or material to be a builder
And having done nothing more than what you should have done or finally did
Surrender and find yourself filled with strength
Not your own
Some call it grace
It will carry you through
