Resistance to change - a poem

I came across this today: (I have unearthed a lot of stuff preparing to write this book!) I think it gives one a fresh take on resistance to change that is rooted in the pre-birth experience.

SQUARE PEG
I once learned how to be a square peg, and loved one-sidely
I loved my little square peg and knew that it was good-
I loved the cold, square world we shared and thought that I was fine.
We lived in harmony, my square peg and I.

I came into a round world and I simply didn't fit:
I was a square peg in a round world and I was lost and alone.
So I learned to fit with the round world, and squashed my four sharp corners:
How I longed to be free and not to have to act a part!

I live my round life in this great round globe but my square dreams remain:
I long for a tiny, square world of long ago where I once was quite at home.
In that world I was alone, unseen, unheard, afraid.....but I was truly ME!
Here I am a false shadow of my true identity.

I will be true! I will be whole! I renounce my round and empty false self!
I will build a square prison with four corners where I will fit exactly-
There I will rest and heal the wounds of trying to be round...
I will allow only square things in my own square world.

But to the window of my square prison she comes nightly.
She speaks of love but I do not understand.
She wants my trust but she does not know my pain-
She demands relationship but I don't know what to do.

I will insist that she be square and stay with me!
I will give her corners, set her in her place!
Then we can dance the square dance to the tune that I am singing:
I will be master of my square world and she will be my friend!

But in the night I try not to hear her mourning for her round world;
In the day her sadness is not quite visible to me;
In the morning I will fill my good square life with unyielding routines
In the evening I will rest and try not to be aware.

Time passes, she leaves and I am alone.
She has taken her sadness away.
It is better now.
I am a square peg once more, and quite content.
