You’ll never be able to second guess

Nor read another’s mind

It’s futile thinking, that’s for sure

Projections are all you’ll find

Just be, without approval sought

No comparisons need be made

Don’t procrastinate, just make the choice

To step out from the shade

Observe how others ebb and flow

Whilst sticking to the crowd

Asleep to who they actually are

Whilst their ego stands up proud

Review your motives; do not hide

Behind someone else’s dream

Completely trust to find your path

Your own truth is what you gleam

Step forward into your own embrace

Without loss or false control

Your pride perhaps misguided

In pursuing another’s bankroll

Too many spend time living

Through a pre-prescribed idea

Of how others have lived before them

That’s what stops you shifting gear
