Penciled Thoughts

New Way

Are you weak to your own thoughts?

Are you always giving in?

Are you lost at every corner?

Life appears to be so grim?

When you think all is conquered

things become the other way.

I am only crashing

with nothing I can say.

Then I see the folly

in this thought of mine.

Shifting to the positive

to self I’m being kind.

I'm open to the universe

the energy supreme.

Bring in all that’s positive

show what that might mean.

Now I see the good

in all the things I do.

All that makes me happy

all that keeps me true.

I struggle with an ego

that has a grip on me.

Acts as thought I'm someone else

captive, I'm not free.

It acts just like a big shot

throws it's weight around.

I must take a hold of it

tied and securely bound.

I loose the care from inside

it's crying to get out.

The gentleness that dwells in me

is what I'm all about.

But I can not show it

for I lie to me.

I hold me captive in my mind

I'll never let me free.

But the spirit that is me.

will smash tearing it apart.

Freeing this bounded soul

saving this contrite heart.
