Would you pass a tissue,
or wipe off someones tears?
Would you speak from your heart,
or freeze from anxious fears?
Would you feed from your core,
a good lesson you learned?
Would you pass by quickly,
walking too scared to turn?
Would you run from the truth,
you have hidden inside?
Would you escape yourself,
find a new place to hide?
If I behave offbeat,
would you run from me too?
If I search for answers,
would you throw me a clue?
If I aim for self care,
should I burn from pure guilt?
If I think my own thoughts,
will it break what we built?
If I start to comply,
change my image for you?
If I loose who I am,
will I still be called true?

I love that image of meditating chimp. Wonderful! I wonder what he is thinking about.
I am wondering that too. He looks so deep in thought. It could be so many different things from “Where did I leave that banana” to “What is the true meaning of life?”
