Stand
I stand here as I am
I do not attempt to deny or save face
Still I seek his embrace
Knowing not if this dream I chase is covered by his grace
Still I stand
Devising plans of success for everyone around me
Left alone to watch my people sleep
Not wanting to change or bind the frame of your existence
Rather you would want to miss this
So you can claim you did not know
Or could not see
But he is the air you breathe
Lie to me
I will not cease to be
But become a phoenix
See this fire encompasses me
And for all eternity id rather seek to find a king
Then settle for this blasphemy being offered to me.
I have come to bring truth
Motivation to the masses
If and only if they seek to grasp it
Understand being beyond a feeling
Devotion rising above religion
What is the point of it if you spend your nights whipping tears from your eyes
That is not the mercy that has been promised to me
Nor will I sit here believing I can fly when I have not the wings to carry me
Like the dwindling of a legacy
The empire falls
Even when it is hidden behind four walls
Because if I am not good within me
who can I be to the people he brings
Ask yourself what it means to be a saved
To find a savior
Consider the mind and its power
And don’t loose sight of the hour
We live in the last days pretending not to feel the change in the air
Weeping of how it is not fair
Yet and still forgetting the connections of energy
And we do surely dispense it
Then try to forget it
But it follows and soon enough we feel hollow
And so I ask what is there left to be saved?
Remember you have to be the change!
