THE GHOST OF SELF

A curious thing does happen

When you change your Point of View

The self you were will linger

In the memories of you

A curious thing does happen

As you approach in different ways

You’ll have to show Real Focus

When the memory replays

The thoughts you once did think

Will often come up once again

You’ll be tempted to repeat them

But the best is to refrain

You’ll remember how you used to speak

And how people made you feel

Looking back on all your life

You’ll wonder what was real

The Ghost of Self will echo

Like a cloud above your head

It will pour on your parade

If you don’t choose Now instead

And don’t forget that people

(Those existing from your past)

Will work hard to remind you

So your identity will last

Others won’t feel comfortable

When you change the way you are

They’ll want to say you’re not the same

They’ll say you’ve gone too far

The person that you choose to be –

They will not recognize

They’ll know that you are different –

They’ll just see it in your eyes

They’ll try use your vulnerability

To get you to be the same

They’ll join forces with the Ghost of Self

And say that you’re to blame

But this is where your strength will lie

And this is where you’ll choose

You’ll remember time and time again

Your own power you can use

You’ll see the thoughts that pass you by

And the opinions you will hear

But with every single part of you

You’ll choose LOVE over FEAR

Something grand will happen

As you feel something inside

It needs to happen only once

To feel All of You collide

There is but one condition

Choosing to be better than before

You’ll have to stop the nonsense

And be honest to your core

You’ll have to choose time and again

That YOU’RE THE ONE to trust

Let go of outside influence

This is just a must

The Ghost of Self that lingers

Like an undefined echo

Becomes your greatest ally

As you let your Old Self go

Instead of running from it,

Like a haunting you can’t shake,

You’ll appreciate Every Part of You

That forced you wide awake

The Ghost of Self is fated

Rather inescapable

And when you integrate it

You’ll see how you are capable

You’ll thank every single memory

And all those that did you wrong

You’ll realize that you’ve had the choice

Within you all along

You’ll feel a sense of gratitude

As you stand Consciously Tall

You’ll understand the Ghost of Self

Is not a Ghost At All
