Energy

What is real is the pulse of your soul 
not the beating in your chest

Real is the honesty of a child 
not the envy of your foe

Live in the world with your heart wide open  
and your eyes closed tight 

Your brain is the conductor 
in your train of life

Feed it love, 
receive happiness 

Feed it hate 
and live in fear

You choose
