The Battle

We carry the past with us We frantically try to predict the upcoming years Our minds are vociferously occupied Filled with delusional neurotic fear To detach from our emotions Modern man might think is insane Because to quiet the monkey mind For many would make life too mundane So, we move with no direction or intention We cry about having no purpose or time We say we’ll do it tomorrow Unaware, the river is running dry There's an internal battle raging We’re all troubled with mental pain Unaware, the harder we fight The struggle remains the same We must learn to let go of the past Stop concerning yourself with the upcoming years Learn to live in the moment You will conquer most all of your irrational fears Become aware of your emotions Mindfulness resolves most of life's pains Control the controllable This type of liberation is insane You begin to live life with intention You create more quality time You realize, you can only do what you do Peace, its your new way of life The battle has been won Ironically, the war was all in our mind Personal awareness Exposes the true enemy for mankind So, take a deep breath Listen to the wind blowing through the trees Right now, this moment It's all we have, and all we really need
