what am i to do?

this poem is about how our ego's are holding us back

What am I to do?

We fought our lives

respect is not just a word

respect is an honor

the honor of ones journey

this is the journey we face everyday

it knocks you down

it pushes you up

only to knock you down again

you make the choice to get up



What am I to do?

My choices are my choices

I live my journey for the respect I get

my honor of knowing what I did

what knocks you down

end up making you stronger

you make the choice to get up

you are what you make of yourselves



What am I to do?

Everyone has enemies

the enemies that roadblock them

their journey is stopped

in reality he is not your enemy

our perception our beliefs

can we not question them?

Our egos project our enemy



What am I to do?

We feed our egos

we can't differentiate what is right

we can't differentiate what is wrong

in this world we are prisoners,

prisoners to our own ego

respect comes with the journey

the journey of getting free

only you can see the opening

so, What am I to do?
