Be Myself
A poem about breaking the boundaries of identity — where self, others, and the world dissolve into a single rhythmic existence. It reveals that the world you perceive is a model inside your mind, and therefore, the world is also you.
The Poem
Break the rhythm. Break the limit.
Be myself. I am me.
Be yourself. I am you.
Be themselves. I am them.
Be the world. You are the world.
Be all things. I am all things.
Be the galaxy. I am the galaxy.
Be the universe. I am the universe.
Be the music. You are the music.
Explanation
Because the world you perceive is a model constructed inside your mind, the world is you.
