Don'T Follow the Who You Are Not
don’t follow the who you are not
if this title strikes your fancy
then you have become awake
you have found the oasis
and know what’s at stake
it’s a razor’s edge
between happiness and pain
the mind holds it all
either suffer or gain
at some point you choose
who to listen to
the ego or your heart
which one, is “you”?
the ego separates, concurs,
and enjoys making you feel
you’re the wisest and greatest,
with your view, the best deal
while your heart is the soul of your being
it knows it’s part of the one
it feels compassion, through understanding
and sits in silence, listening for fun
it’s the who you really are
and follow it you should do
it always gives the greatest gifts
following the heart, is being you
