Reflections

When you look in the mirror do you see the person that you are
Or do you see your soul the force fueled by god that gives that person life
When i look i he a person before me but i also see a shattered soul
Doin it's best to hold that person up and give them the will to fight on

People see my person and see my strength my power my inteligence
But the weakness and struggles in my soul outline all of that making it tainted and ugly
My word convey such poise and conviction when i speak
And my eyes burn with pain and anger

As much as people come to me to seek my "wise counsel"
I have yet to find the same outlet to vent
For all words seem hollow for word can not solve what my issues
For my problems dwell in the world of man which i have not mastered navigating

I am not confused about what i want in life i figured that out eons ago
I know who i am, I come to terms with that as early as i could
I have a goal and i'm trying to do what i have to do to meet it
But i have the hinderence to end all hinderence..........

What makes the world go round????
I say this because i am ashamed to say the word for it makes me feel weak
Weak because it makes me feel human because it is my weakness
It is the key to survival in the time which we live

All the skill and talent will give you a life of wonder and success
But you have to live, not in the physical sense but more in the soul survival
That you have to endure so much in you mind and soul for it to be use to it's full extent
And that aspect of survival is a struggle we all have

So many unforseen things happen sickness, lost of job, rent increase, and the cost of living in general
We try to either work til we get a break or take the easy way out over and over again
But it all seems temparary and futile for there is always hurdle after hurdle adn the rewards are few and far between
I gues this is to make us value what we have naturally and cherish all that we earn

The only question is: Do we need a constant reminder to be greatful?
Are we not mature enough to learn our lesson the first, if not hte second time?
Or are we doomed to keep repeating the cylces of personal hardship and a world where people die everyday trying to survive or make the world better
So many people see the mistake they have made and don't look back and learn enough and complain because we are repeating the same patterns

This started off being about me but then i became possessed with this message
This message that my life has shown me in the form of what i am going through
That we all as individuals, as a species, as a world need to find a way to survive
Because for most of use for what we are meant to do here on the planet and at this time just getting by is not enough!

We need to work we need to strive to be ourselve at our full potential and be comfortable but at the same time learn our limits
I think that is what is happening to me now i am learing that i am not as i see myself being
I am learning that some times you need help becauseall you problems can not be solved alone
I see that i am not as alone as i thought myself to be in this world

Some people pray to hear the words of God, Buddha, Allah, Krishna, or whom ever they worship
Other go to a temple, church, synagogue, or another house of worship to have a religious leader minister to them
Me i write for when i write i channel his words to me to see what i need to see and hear
The challenge to all of us is to listen
