Welcome Your Shadow

Welcome Your Shadow

Enlightenment is the goal, but you still got to cut the grass.

Spiritual growth is the path you're on, but you still have to go get your new nose.

All your beliefs is what you live by, but you can't help but go down on that random guy.

You love to love, yet you still sit alone drowning in your bottle, wanting to cry.

Your dreams is what you follow, yet you still work like a slave just to get by.

Fly. Fly so high, while you crawl in the dirt that has become your sky.

It's not a difficult thing to love, yet your fear stops your beating heart.

You wish to be healthier, yet  all you do is sit around and fart.

You lust for an innovative piece of art, but you rather go look at picture frames while shopping in Wal-Mart.

Traveling is your joy, a new frontier for the eyes, yet you lay in bed, living your lies, rather than going out tonight with the guys.

You play the song, add the lyrics; move to the beat. Yet, in public, you refuse to dance in the street.

An angel in everyone's eyes, is what you wish to be, but you never acknowledge the devil in disguise, just carrying on, hiding behind your high-fives.

A-L-I-V-E to the world, keeping the harmony going. D-E-A-D inside, not getting past what your mirror is showing.

Your bread basket is overflowing, though you never give to the poor. You're hungry. You're greedy. You're always asking for more.

Average Joe, plain old Jane, looking for your claim to fame, you can relax, sit on your couch, eating your fatty snacks.

I got you, I'm pulling up my slacks. I'm gonna go out and love you, and love me, for all the world to see. 

Never forget, through the fog in your mind, and the log that is your spine, you can be more than an item on the shelf in your local department store, just welcome your shadow, and follow your feet, till that day we will together be dancing on the street.
