DEEP END OUTSIDER

From a very young age, I never fit in,
When I realized how weird, maybe alien I am.
Jumped in the deep end, thinking I could swim,
Thrashed and struggled, then I went within.
Wasn't the first place, I searched in this journey,
Searching every mind space learning, still yearning.
Unaware that the journey would torque me this hard,
Awakening in the flow is the closest lifeguard
Dharma means your duty, life purpose or mission,
This is where creation gives us permission.
