The One You Cant See - Poem by Philip Wathen

This was a channeled message from my higher self. 4/6/2023 AD

That book that man created about me, it tells a tale of what I’m supposed to be. It says seek me first, yet fame is all you seek. For I’m not seeking fame, I’m seeking something more unique. I know you think you’re sly, all the secrets that you hide but I, who can see it all, will not be denied. The lies you try to tell, the truth that you deny, I can see all of it, no matter how you try. You can’t outrun the truth, and soon you’ll see. It’s me, the one who knows, the one that will set you free.

You label me with a title so tight, It’s never been the same since that fucc’n’ night, You never searched for truth beyond the church walls, you never heard of the truth that I called, you never asked questions, you never sought me out. You never thought of going beyond what the preacher preached about. But now I’m here, my name is loud and clear.

Now I’m here to show you the way, A place of secrets and mystery. You can’t find me with a map or key, You must learn to love yourself to truly see me. Love thyself, and you will find, The place of peace and contentment in your mind. Only with love will you be able to see, The place where I’m hidden, like a secret key. You won’t find me in the world outside, But if you seek within, you’ll see me with pride. A place of beauty, a place to be, That is where I’m hidden, for you to see. So love yourself, and you will find, my hidden place where I exist in your mind. Only with love, will you be able to see, The place where I’m hidden, like a secret key.

Loving yourself is not just a body to me, It’s a way of life that sets you free. It’s how you see the world and what you believe, it’s the way you treat yourself, that’s what I mean. No matter what man lead you to believe, take control of yourself and your life, you can achieve. Confidence is key, be bold and be brave, happiness is within, so learn to be brave. Respect yourself and your goals, and never give in. Love yourself and never give up, that’s a win. Be your own advocate and always stay strong, for loving yourself is where you belong.

Man will lie and deceive, to create misunderstanding and so much grieve. But my words tell you come as you are, for I created beauty in my eyes, you are perfect, now and afar. Fucc those man made duties, those lies they tell. Your value is in your heart, not what they sale, Rise above and you’ll be king, what I’m saying is follow your dreams. No need to hide, just be yourself, do things with pride, your life is yours to shelf. Don’t let them put you down, don’t let them fucc’n’ win, this is your life, and you’ll be King at the end.

My skin is a prison, my identity a crime, I am in one place you will never find. Because man has taught you to think you are freaks, to hate yourselves, they created imperfections and flaws, and all this other bullshit to keep you weak. But I will never give in, I’ll never give up the fight, I’ll stand against the mfn haters, I will never bow to their might. My courage will never shatter, I will never give up the light. My identity is something to be proud of, this world may never understand, and for that tell you fucc off because I will never give up, I will never be meek. My spirit will never be broken, no matter how much they fucc’n speak.

Your beauty is unrivaled and I want to be there, to witness the moment when you accept who you are. To embrace your true self and break free from the chains, and to know you will thrive despite society’s claims. Your strength is undeniable and shines like a star, so free your mind and let go of the lies that are far. See yourself just as you are and not what they say, and I will be right by your side, never far away. Your courage is inspiring and you have every right, to love yourself and be proud, no matter the plight. And when you can do this, despite all the fears that is when I’ll be right there, in your corner, right here.

Look into the mirror and see what you will find, the reflection of yourself, it’s one of a kind. It’s not far to go, just look into the glass, accept the beauty of you and let yourself pass. If you can’t love your reflection, why expect it from me. I want you to be happy and free, so take the time to be kind to yourself and the world will follow. It’s in your power, so don’t be so hollow. Love your reflection, it’s the only one you will ever know, be true to yourself and never let go. Your reflection is your true self, accept it and you will be free. Then you can love me, it’s the only way to be.

Loving myself was loving me, and in its purest form, no shame I could see. The sweetest love, it starts with me, for when I love, I find love in thee. The joy in my heart, it starts to swell, when I learn to love me, I love you as well. My life starts anew, no more walls, no more fear, no more hatred, for all I feel is pure and clear. It's a love, that comes from within, it’s a love that shines, it's a love that wins. It’s a love that knows no bounds, it’s a love that makes no sound. Loving myself was loving me, and it’s only then I can truly love thee. For when I love, I understand, that loving myself is loving you, my friend!
