Back Into Gear Part 1

Born into this realm surreal, 
With truth being revealed, 
Lack of understanding so it remains sealed,
Was feeling weak, but with that there's a negative cost, 
So lost but I refuse to retreat, 
See this system won't beat me, 
The tree of knowledge is the living key, 
Always keen, so I wake from my ignorance and dreams, 
Dreaming a dream that's influenced by the green, 
Now that’s past tense, been clean since the start of the year,
Hence I’ve got myself back into gear,
Was blinded by the glare of all the deceit out there,
But today is shining bright like a flare in the sky's night,
I’ve ignited my inner ignition again and again when I've lost sight,
No one to blame but myself, 
Relapsed collapsing my consciousness health,
From out of my mouth can come unthoughtful information,
When I leave my path and forget my destination,
Restoration is needed, heeded instead of being defeated,
Remembering our heated minds can change and have miracle abilities, 
Through mindful activity causing brain plasticity, 
Even a super computer can't compare,
For this we need active awareness practices which today is very rare, 
Meditation and conscious of being self-aware, 
While on this earth expedition,
Tell yourself this over and over through daily repetition,
Ignorance is currently the world’s situation,
No understanding of our physical and mental reality conditions,
Being negatively focused on this puts us into all sorts of depressions....
