The Real Fight

Camera, lights, action, put on the set,
And start reciting everything that's been said,
A creativity junkie throwing out lines,
Mimicking characters every time,
the stage becomes ego, forgetting the heart, 
The heart that mattered more from the start,
Stepping down in order not to turn,
Equipt to make a difference on this earth,
The fight is real to go with or without,
To help others while helping himself,
Forgetting self is the hardest to do,
But giving it away is the service you choose,
A piece of that heart is carried through time,
The moment God said "You became mine",
Fight the good fight, speak heart and soul,
Living the love we were brought to show,
