The following is from the 151 writings on love, intimacy and the path to inner peace from David's book, Phoenix Soul: One Man's Search for Love & Inner Peace © 1998 David Essel

What I Really Want

What I really want is peace
      The inner calmness that flows nonstop
      Allowing the real me to glow
      Allowing the real me to show through
What I really want is self love
      The kind that is so easy to give to others
      To take away this pain
      The pain that accompanies personal growth
      You see, when you decide to grow
      You decide to let go
      To let go of your past behaviors
      To let go of your past beliefs
      But my God, they've been with me for so long
      Belief in my insecurity
      Belief in my lack
      These beliefs are like shackles to the past
What I really want is to grow
      To let go of my frustrations
      To let go of my prejudices
      Even the ones I hold against myself
Sit and think of what you really want
Enough of the distractions
Work, food, or drink
They all can be used to stunt our growth
      "Now is not the time to run"
      I say this to myself daily
      Face your fears
      And surround them with love, your own love
