Do not get all bottled up inside*
In a world of confused perimeters that seem to be within
Chaos all around, to arrive at peace where does one begin?
Going back and forth, in one's "mind" to be relieved
The temptation becomes greater, in what has been perceived
Now it seems that one got into this and created such a mess
It is that very same one that can leave it and let all come to rest
Yes, it is something that one made up on the way through life
Giving it attention and carrying all the burdens of strife
So that one sees now that it really was not there
The more that one walked away from this in becoming well aware
Something ever so close that becomes freedom and to let loose
Like how the bottle had its prisoner, that housed a long neck goose
But the goose was never the prisoner for it never was of this
The bottle was the illusion and did not ever exist
For in a way it was something that became of a doubt
And a personal prison in a ZEN* koan but that one is now out
