SOLITUDE OF SOUL
Invest your soul
in yourself, not in others
not elsewhere, not in people
stay detached emotionally
be sensitive to all
but save yourself
for yourself only
empty your cup
it may be difficult
almost impossible to let go of
what you had stored in your cup
since you came to this earth
but strive and resolve
to empty fully
there is no other way
there is no escape
so do it sooner than later
empty and then
slowly fill your cup first
with self care
that is your divine responsibility
in the process
you will get to know yourself
that is the only purpose of this life.
