Behind the Looking Glass by paulthepage published on 2021-12-04T00:08:30Z Living in Isolation Is a state of mind To feel lonely when you’re not alone You can look, but not touch People you think are living such inspired lives theyre a product to be displayed With a price tag Behind the looking glass Is a fabricated reality Look inside the hollow shell you drag around town Is it a mannequin or can you feel something that’s more profound Comparisons you will drive endlessly crazy Stop listening to all the noise thats out there What hurts you most is that you’re not where you want to be, and it scares you to think you think you’ll never be bad days will happen , even in high spirits The wellspring of creativity isn’t always full Just surround yourself with what you love, and fate will surely find a way, no matter what they say Don’t sell yourself short Youre playing the long game set your mind on the journey,and not the end goal you determine and create your own value you have more control over perception than you realize the keys are in your hand you’re the one driving this vehicle Keep revving the engine the energy’s flowing Eventually its gonna light up Keep pushing yourself The energy is building Sooner or later Its gonna start and youll be on your Way to a new place you never thought youd see All it took for you was to just believe That you can choose the right possibility by aligning your heart with actuality all the weights are lifted, you’re finally free of all constraints they wont limit you any more the road ahead is still unpaved and dangerous but with your willpower no challenge cant be met dont rest on your laurels there’s always another challenger awaiting if this journey is endless how will I ever find satisfaction I don’t think ill ever find it every day there’s joy to be found and progress to be made but with that comes boredom, burnout, and pain, not to mention lethargy, confusion, and lack of inspiration keep learning and developing your skill so that you can leave something behind im just fighting an uphill battle death is the end of the journey and my ego’s cravings wont stop until then Yes, this is absolutely true all these concerns are valid life is a nonstop drama that feels vain to its core but there’s just something to it we cant just ignore its that yearning deep inside to fight and grow strong in heart and mind , body and spirit and to strive towards this we must never give up and venture through the unknown to fulfil the soul the ego isn’t the enemy its a child in a cage yearning to be set free abuse that you’ve suffered and the justified hatred doesn’t define you and once you let it go youll set the child free Genre Alternative Rock
