I Am Not My Story
by Zen Gardner
Deeply rooted, convoluted, my story took its form
Weaving and deceiving all, the characters were born
“False appearing real”, the chequered meme within its spell
As the image wound its hungry way and lies began to gel
How story loves to reinforce, for self and others’ pleasure
Not seeing that from selfsame point was made that story’s measure
The masquerade continues on, appearing unabated
While all along the Truth inside was scoffed and underrated
The stories change and rearrange, depending on the weather
Who needs what, will I survive? Co-dependent tales together
Should I play or should I stay? Should I do this or that…
Decisions made for which we paid the billing as we sat
Stories are so int’resting and often very clever
No matter if they’re true or not, we’re in this play together
Now subtle more is what’s in store when Truth It starts to surface
Conflict sure, but what allure, a grin instead of grimace
There’s something there, from who knew where, and I just could be him
Something deep that ever seeps and seeks to fill to brim
But wait, my story’s crumbling, in fact it’s quite the shock
Tis’ not as played, my cool parade – my strut began to mock
Defeat is triumph backwards, as if there’s aught to fear
The self is story on the loose, a lie yet held so dear
Thoughts and stories coalesce to try and reach success
But thankfully, we come to learn, the story’s not our best
I finalize, with final eyes, that stories all are fake
Memes and mimes just spewing lines with ego on the take
What always waits ‘yond conscious gates is something quite amazing
Creation’s aide, another grade, and this is where I’m grazing

Kathleen Stilwell, editor and curator for Truth Comes to Light, is a researcher and writer, in awe of the transforming power of courage, kindness and imagination.
Born a truth seeker, she stumbled her way through a life guided by intuition, studying a broad range of topics including natural healing, religions, metaphysics, psychology, globalist agendas, etc. — learning from mistakes, experiencing many awakenings, working a wide assortment of learn-as-you-go jobs, and finding her greatest challenge and sacred responsibility in being a mother, and now a grandmother. While raising her son, she had several blogs over the years, focused on alternative education (freeing our kids from the mind-control prisons) and the danger of vaccines and psych meds for children.
