Guided Steps

There's more to life than the material trappings
that keep us stuck & looking
for more
I implore you to free yourself & search for YOUR
meaning for at the core of you 
lies this lifes purpose
Don't get caught up in the net worth of the surface
of things
& get hooked by the bait being dangled before
your eyes
Realize the angles are designed with you in mind
as to trap you in another lifetime of
darkness disguised as light
You won't always choose right but at some point
the lesson must be learned in order
to earn your wings
Take flight away from the things that keep you
grounded to lower planes of existence
& seek more fertile plains with
less resistance
You'll gain a higher perspective once you soar
above that which offers no love
but instead favors hate
Shoot for the stars but prepare to land in the
clouds if you miss
& embrace fates kiss along with the universe
& its lofty goals
You never know where this life will take you
but go as your steps are guided up
the ladder to a place where
matter is of no consequence
What matters most is the consistency of
your steps & your willingness
to keep going even when the
circumstances of life
become intense
