Breaking the Wheel of 'Therefore'

By Jesse Teron

Chasing actions to achieve "therefore,"

Spinning endlessly—where's the door?

Around and around, the wheel turns fast,

Always searching, nothing seems to last.

Seeking the outer, avoiding the core,

But the door you seek is with you—right there on the floor.

It’s not in that book you read each night,

Why not let it simmer, let go of the fight?

Scrolling endlessly through the noise,

Where meaning fades, and trolls destroy.

Who owns your mind if it’s not you?

Those desires you chase—they aren’t true.

Forever stuck in "therefore’s" hold,

Until you step through the door, bold.
