Lay Down The Sword

http://www.twistedrootstudios.com

Constant battle...
your life?
Constant consternation
Constant strife
Suited up in your armor
Ready with your sword
Fighting becomes a nasty habit
Wielding the weapon of your own
accord

Running in circles aimlessly
round, round and round
Dizzy from the spin
Looking for a slaughter fix
to get through this life
painlessly

The forged metal of your malice
gets heavy in your grasp
Defending your standards
your fears, your ancestor's beliefs
Being the leader, the winner of the bread
Till you no longer know those living
in your palace

While you were out there fighting
You forgot to notice
The cause of self denial
ain't so hip no more
Forgetting you in the flow of
life
does not make your journey
enlightening

These days....it's apropos
to take care of you
So you can be the person
others need you to be
Put down your weapon
Spend time in quiet solitude
Let your inner self tell you
what you need
to know

The fight is over, friend
Release your grasp
on the bejeweled hilt
Lay down the sword
Soon you'll see there is
an answer inside
of you
Lay your weapon down
Let the battles end
