The Self I See
The Self I See

There must be another way, so myself I don’t betray.

There must be another chance, so myself I can enhance.

There must be another sign, to realign with the divine.

There must be another way, so myself I don’t betray.

Always searching for myself, deeper, deeper do I delve.

Searching in all the wrong places, hoping to see in others’ faces.

Searching for myself in roles, never seeing society’s holes.

Searching in the black and white, as my true self I do fight.

Searching in my family, maybe they can set me free.

Searching in the job I do, searching in my friendship crew.

Searching here and searching there, looking for me everywhere.

Searching around me all the time, never do I see the sign.

I really need to stop a moment, maybe then I’ll reach atonement.

I really need to stop and see, and take a look deep in me.

I really need to know my worth, happiness a right of birth.

I really need to take it in, look deeper under my skin.

I really need to take a rest, connect with what’s behind my chest.

I really need to see myself, reconnect with spiritual wealth.

I really need to let love in, disdain of self I need to bin.

I really need to change my ways, better will become my days.

I know there is a chance for me, if my true self I could see.

I know there is a better way, if I hear what my soul has to say.

I know that I can change my ways, remove myself from my haze.

I know that I can change things up, drinking from the spiritual cup.

I know that I can walk the path, that my soul tries to carve.

I know that I can be much better, living my life to the letter.

I know that I can let love in, love of self’s where to begin.

I know that I can open doors, once I see society’s flaws.

I know that I can make a difference, once I make the right decisions.

I know that I can soon be free, if only I could just be me.

Moving here and moving there, change my ways if I dare.

Move and change all that I see, the only way I can be free.

Change the thinking that I have, that always causes so much wrath.

Move my thoughts and change my ways, love of self really pays.

Change it up and know myself, this will bring me better health.

Open up to all that is, my old self I will not miss.

Open up and close past pain, my mind on this I can retrain.

Close the shutters on my past, it’s time to hone my soul’s true craft.

Change it up and know my worth, happiness a right of birth.
