Let It Be
There's a perturbation beneath the surface
An impulsive dilemma of wants and needs
It's a cognitive battle
Should I refrain, or should I feed?
The desires are instinctive
The hardwired cravings are insatiable inside
Change is like trying to outrun our own shadow
Or like separating the self, from the I
It's not life that's bothering us
It an internal narrative that consumes and controls
We must learn to observe the dialogue
It provides personal awareness, it makes us whole
When we learn to let go of the externals
We gain control of our life
We learn to live in the present moment
We take past wrongs, and make them right
In the end - life is what we make it
Perception creates our unique reality
We’re all part of something bigger
Take a breath - now let it be
