Flow



She said I don’t tell myself enough that I’m a badass
whispered in a momentary episode of my madness
Don’t understand how I have that impact
Or comprehend how the deck got stacked
Push forward navigating these karmic contracts
If I could hear a word in a moment
Growth may have been easier
But I feel uunderneath
vibrationally present
Rather than surface chatter
So under the leaves do you think I still matter
If I bared my soul would it bring some relief
For the turmoil that was bred into you
What I think doesn’t matter
Because I understand I know nothing
What I feel
Allows me to navigate
The chaos and potentially sew something
In the hearts and minds of spirits
That feel so much the same
But lack the ability to interpret the insane
sharing energy we all navigate
Stacking the bullshit
Irrigate the reality
Water will be the end
When flow ends, so do we
Stagnation and comfortability
Ignorance and arrogance
Attempting to BE
What breaks the ego down
Rather than flowing, no fear
Currents unforgivingly teaching
Humanity through experience
One magnificent dance
In our conscious ability to enjoy it
Succumbing to habit
Our soul-er Ignorance
Sadly cannot be held
Feel it, see it and touch it
Discovering courage suppressed
 Visions and dreams
 Nurtured discreetly along the way
Here I am doing something about it
Always been this transparent
I lacked the vision
 Choosing to fear it.
