Reflecting

Look in the mirror, tell me what do you see…

In the reflection: is it you, or is it me?

At times I get confused about whose burden I’m carrying

But sadly, not in whose backyards I keep on burying

This weight and these feelings that are hard to slough off

Have to watch who you share with, or prepare to be scoffed

See when you’ve lived for so long outside of your reality

Other topics become enticing, like spirituality and mortality

But be careful where you’re swept, to help you forget

Don’t tune your mind solely to a channel that’s pre-set

Use your wit, your instincts, your knowledge, and guides

Don’t get stuck in the confusion that swirls in your mind(s)

Stay in your body and learn how to breath

Pray like you mean it, on your goddamn knees

This life isn’t over, there’s so much more to do

Focus on the ones who are there and part of your crew

Not the ones who ever made you feel … at all … like there’s something wrong with you
