Self Perception

If the view you have of you is one you must protect 
then what you have is a view that you need to forget 
it's not a view of who you are but who you want to be 
and that means that that view of you is not reality

If you don’t know who you are you won’t get where you’re going 
and as for where to go to next there’s just no way of knowing 
if you believe that you don’t need to learn and keep on growing 
then all the things you think you are are never there for showing
