Mind-Blowing Limericks about Introspection

If you want to find the truth, the one and only truth that’s true for you, there’s only one place to look: inward. This set of limericks about introspection takes a close look at what we can find when we strive to look inside. It’s not always pretty, and it’s rarely ever easy, but it’s a necessary step for the evolution of consciousness.

     The Inner Light
     She who searches is he who brings
     The answer inside from whither it springs
               Who studies himself
               Discovers the wealth
     And knows in her bosom the ways of all things

     The Inner Ineffable
     I wrestle with something in darkness alone
     Search every corner and turn every stone
               For books that can name it 
               And methods to tame it
     This part of my person might never be known

     Know Thyself
     A wisdom beyond words awaits in the offing
     Dig deep for the truth and you’ll find it’s exhausting
               Go quarry your mine 
               It’s well worth your time 
     A life unexamined’s like cake without frosting

     Inner Appraisal 
     Sometimes we judge ourselves far too severely
     Or value our righteousness rather too dearly
               How does one measure
               His innermost treasure
     God only knows, can you see yourself clearly?

     Higher Appetites  
     Our race was awarded a wealth of awareness
     A thirst for the truth and a hunger for fairness
               A knack for reflection 
               And deep introspection
     But genuine insights are still such a rareness

     Trust in Thyself
     Nothing is sacred, no object or book
     Question the writings, let scripture be shook
               Observe what you think
               Over paper and ink
     Just wander inside, you deserve a long look

     Vocation   
     The purposeless person is dull and demeaning
     Guilty of wilting and languidly leaning
               No rhythm or rhyme
               Just whiling his time
     So go find a project to give your life meaning

     Remove  
     Step back from yourself and detach from your thought
     Look down from above like a blue cosmonaut
               Observing what’s true
               And authentically you
     Retain what is real and release what is not
