We Often Leave It Too Long



way 2 late

We often leave it way too long
To do the one thing we should do-
Our first of all responsibility
To be more kind to the soul that's you-
We seem to live our lives around life's hives
Doing what so many others say is best-
Scared stiff of not making the right choices
Trying too hard to pass each and every test-
So many others they just please them selves
And you being the soul you are within-
Go out of your way both night and day
Being like them you feel would be a sin-
Doing your best to please everyone you love
Forgetting your own dreams along the way-
Doing what they say is the done thing
Leaving little of your own dreams on the day-
Giving all a share of your self best you can
And wondering why others who don't all succeed-
You they see as the caring and faint hearted one
And respected over all as some kind of weed-
But all of the time more so ever fine
You should give your self ever so much more-
By feeding , respecting and loving your own soul
Then you too can take care of those that you adore-
Spreading ones heart and love way to thin
And leaving what your soul needs to survive-
Not putting enough loves fuel in your own tank
And still trying to stand tall and stay alive-
All of the souls that are not like you
Will ridicule and often call you weak-
But all the while with a confident smile
They put them selves first always as they speak-
After you have learned to love your self
Then you are more complete in every shape and form-
Not giving all of your self away all of the time
You can then have loved ones enjoy each dawn-
We often leave it way too late in life
To love our selves the way we really should-
As selfish souls teach us from day one
To do this very thing it is not good-
You are your self a gift from God above
To thine own self be way more true-
Without being selfish as some souls are
And then you just might make it through-
