Lost Perspective
Lost Perspective
Eve said to Adam-let us eat the apple so we become ourselves
So naïve, why should I die first in order to become what I am already
In his image and likeness I was and I am before the conception
Truly, the image, identity and individualism built on lies is a lie
It is not vivid in my psychic if you can comprehend self in illusions
Honestly, I think you live your life based on your oriented senses
Come on, wake-up, warm-up and warble-up your inner self
Why live your life through someone else’s view and shadows?
Wash your windows or get a better mirror, sorry they lied to you
They told you who they thought you were but not who you are
Self-Perception perceived through someone else’s perspective is slavery
There is one thing man cannot predict-is the deception the human heart
Hence if I can remote control your perception, results will be obvious
If your life pivotal is not in I AM that I AM, then your existence is meaningless
Raise from the ashes, durst yourself and then go home, you have no use here
If the sun knows how to shine by day and moon by night then who are you
Honestly, opinion expression is foolishness without self-awareness
Counting countless nights of sleepless nights-studying for society acceptance
Realizing that your A grades in school were mediocrity-just copy and past
Now you are scared to step out of the box and be yourself-comfort in poverty
You are just like your parents - conforming to comfort of average life
Self-Perception perceived through someone else’s perspective is slavery
Here is the best Myles Munroe said is rooted in Self-Concept and self-governance
Tell me more, or are you waiting for men’s accreditation in order to be self
Know this- that in your fingerprints, eye-prints, voiceprints and DNA
Runs the power of your uniqueness and individuality-no other, only you
Only you can become the best you-only you can become the worst you
7 billion plus individuals on earth, dead, alive or being born - you are you
Walk into the majesty of your greatness, purpose, power and possession
Your success or failure is imbedded in self-perceptive or lack of it
Now you know that apple in the garden will leave you with a running stomach
Your purpose and power was engraved in before conception – yes
So read your script from the life manual script and see yourself through his image
Self-Perception perceived through someone else’s perspective is slavery
