so easy it is to climb into yourself and give up
crawl back into that cave of self-pity, fill the cup
allowing the voices of the distant past
take up rent and killing you fast
penetrate your being, tearing you down
making you feel the fool and the hopeless clown
refuse to give up the fight
climb back out and be the light
they never understood
they never could
you couldn’t play the game
the stakes too high for you to claim
you felt the passion deep
for truth you would seek
refuse to give up the fight
climb back out and be the light
maybe not everyone understood you
maybe not everyone could be true
it does not mean that what you valued was wrong
they just were playing a different song
they did not understand the passion that drove you
they did not understand you cared for more than a few
they did not understand you were only expressing an insight
they did not understand you’re being part of the light
they could only shut you down and throw you out
for then they could continue without a doubt
refuse to give up the fight
crawl back out and be the light
if only for a second the truth did shine
it was worth it all to be YOU on the line
somewhere, some day someone will find you
until then, believe in the light and all that is true

“..you felt the passion deep for truth you would seek..”
yes and yes, living your life with passion and most importantly look for THE Truth. Living a lie or living believing in lies limits you and holds you back from amazing things you could do. And the worst – lies hold you back from everything you could become if only you would let yourself be and live an authentic life…

I do not know how to solve it but to hope that they see they have to manually set it up. That is WHY I have begun posting the message on the bottom of my posts, in hope that those who do not have a link, establish the link.
