Released To The Light Poem by Suraj Samtani

Why do you still think of me?
Why do you still think for me?

Why do you still talk to me?
Why do you still talk for me?

Why do you still wake with me?
Why do you still wake in me?

Why do you still live with me?
Why do you still live in me?


Your spirit once punctured my soul, &
Now you live out my every role.

You've exploited my name and identity.
You've distanced me from my own reality.

Like a foreign entity in a familiar place,
You've alienated me from my own face.

Your shadow has now become my reflection.
Yet it remains my sole source of conviction.


I now command the buck to stop here.
About this I am now very clear.

I release all your memories and energies from me, &
I expect the same from you to set us both free.

May you leave this plane and return to your light.
I pray and pledge with all my might.

While grateful, I need you no more.
Both myself and my purpose I now seek to explore.
