Don’t tend the shadow within
Giving it fodder to thrive on.
Making its No. 1 priority the annihilation
Of the very thing you love.
You can make the best use of this moment
And overturn the downward spiral of your sentiment.
Nobody else qualifies to love you like you.
So love yourself till that light comes thru.
What are you searching for in the past?
When tomorrow with outstretched arms,
Holds out every good promise from a portal.
Would you trade the extraordinary
For flimsy stuff that ain’t going to last.
Give life the right to run its course
But you don’t have to wade thru in a sob.
Strength gained through the pain
Is ammunition to maintain in the game.
So don’t make circumstances your burden.
Step out from behind your prison,
Emerge out of the fog that corrupts your essence
And relish with a fierce jealousy,
The precious present.
