No, it is not a rebirth

No, it is not a rebirth.
It is nothing spiritual.
It is only a dropping
of some things unnecessary.
It is not the final answer
of black or white;
it is, that was not the question
glaring at you.
It is, you were living a story
so strong that it chained.
It is, you were playing one particular game,
adding too many rules.
It is, how can you ever see it
unless you take it apart from you?
How can you comprehend the land
when your feet rely upon it?
It is such basic assumptions
that you can no longer see,
they have infected so thoroughly.
It is the frantic tendency
to go about naming all you encounter,
then turn to yourself and cry,
"But what is your name!?"
It is, you have forgotten to pause this process
in its inception. 
It has been too long going on....
It has been too strong, your mind
standing as the gatekeeper
for all from the world
trying to get inside.
