with our minds
and point of view
we create
and these words
carry to the ether
and to hearts
of men and woman
who believe
speak
share
create
Receivers creating receivers
creating the world
share a vision for peace
learn love and quiet
live in harmony
believe in us
we are created anew
in a world of transformation
Where the past is complete
and the future is born
in possibility
People talk to people
go beyond yourself
and to think of humanity
leave your personal problems and pain
Realize
mistaken identities
we believe as our selves
are not we truly
In a moment a failure
we became our act
vowing never to be hurt again
the show was born
a drama that entertains away your life
We forgot an agreement
we made with ourselves as an infant
could be nullified
A once ingenious moment of survival
etched in reactive memory
like a jack in the box of bad behavior
sneakily scaring away those we love
with pretty colors
and a distracting song
It is this act I seek
a part of me as clear as day
but somehow
I am up too close
to see it
It is a tint
through which I see the world
but more so interpret
and create my life
I see my life
within my act
This act
I will always carry with me
it is in my body
in my mind
but now it is also
in my knowledge
He will not sneak up on me
for I am now his companion
but I will guide him
to a safer place
this fool I am with
at all times
My act is simple
You don’t get me
Every thought I hear expressed
is filtered through
this untrue façade
of perception
and indulgence
I say I am not understood
you are not intelligent enough
or kind enough
or patient enough
or good enough
You must feel guilt
and shame
because
You don’t get me
I know you
and I know what you do
and you won’t do it
to me too
Uh Uh Uh, you don’t get me
I am going
you will never hear from me again
you don’t get me in your life
You don’t get me.
My viscous act that cuts me off
leaves me stranded
even as I gaze deep into the eyes
of rare true love
I don’t get me
too afraid to understand
that all others in the world
are as lost as I am
let’s be quiet
have compassion
and spread love
with creativity
and joy
Everybody wins
when we are all
on the same team
You get me
