Authentic Life

Being authentic is the key

not trying hard to be tricky,

live life with an open heart

get yourself a mindful restart,

discover the existentialist you

see yourself from another view,

not just standing outside the box

but smashing it to pieces while standing on top,

manifest a consciousness shift

open up a paradigm rift,

that shakes your thinking quite a bit

and wakes you up to what reality is.

I would have called this the "Existential Life," but I like the message whole-heartedly. You could have guessed that though. "Open up a paradigm rift", come on, Fauxcroft. Who does that??????
