Listen

My people…
Lend me your ear…
Give me sight…
Insight…to the window of your mind

Long enough I’ve waited…
Waited to engage the cracks and shatters embedded in your mind
So allow me to sooth your pain with my anxiety

My depth is your healing
But you know not of my depth
Simply because you haven’t released yourself

My words play on your ear
But they often grow tired
Because you’ve locked them out

You see…Me standing here
Spitting words rapidly wouldn’t mean a thing
If you don’t open your mind…

You fool no one but yourself
Hiding daily… the true you
In the shadows of the “pre destiny report” handed to you by your fellow folk

My depth is your healing
But you know not of my depth
Because you don’t know self

Go ahead! Dare yourself…
Dare your self to listen within…
Dare yourself to listen to yourself…
Don’t get angry with yourself!!!
Because you can destroy yourself!!!

But instead…
Be patient with yourself…
Learn to love yourself…
Befriend yourself…

My depth is your healing
Open the door to my words
So that you may accept it

“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery…
None but ourselves can free our mind”
Potent words that connect immediately to your soul…
When music hits you…you feel no pain!

So make music…
Make music with your thoughts…
Quell the pains you hide daily
And crush the fear that grips you

My depth is your healing
I’ve brought you this far…
Your chains are slowly slacking
You’re seeing beyond the bars

Simple are my teachings
For I’m just another listener
Listening to me, even as you listen to you

No shrinks, no hypnotism
Just time and introspection
All this for free…
So do this for me…

The next time you stand beside my river
Remember…
My depth is your healing
Look upon my face
The reflection is must clearer
Because it’s you…in this case!!

I don't get it...
No real flow, maybe I need it to rhyme to make sense... no real flow. How can you sooth my pain with you anxiety. I understand this is not to be taken literally but even figuratively it doesn't make sense...
