Walk of Life

When you start doubting yourself
You know that it is time
To rearrange the brain into
A place where you can find

A little vacation 
To visit when your paused
The ego needs a lecture
With the damage life has caused.

Some days I'm only one
Selfish, I can't give
Others I am many
In this world I live.

So many species 
Walking on this globe
I am just a few among
Those who wear a judges robe

The chemistry of this earth
Leaves me so amazed
What more can I do
When I'm lost in its maze

I look in the mirror
I stare at my green eyes
I say to my twin
When you fall is when you rise.

I am whole when I am me
Not many, all or few
I find peace and comfort
With the best job I can do.
