Question: To a friend-Take a look and give thoughts!?
Battle of One

Its not you
Put away the pain
Relax-Breathe in
Don’t get taken under
You don’t wear a cape
You are only human

Its not you
Shake away the hurt
Break through the doubt
Your candle’s flickering
Don’t let them snuff it out

Step away from their horns
Troubled matador
Don’t take on the brunt
It is far too much
You cannot take the crush

Stop placing fault
In your own reflection
Square shapes can’t
Fit into triangles
You are not the equation
To all of their problems
They need to find solution

Release this weight
It’s such a heavy burden
Pressing into your arches
Your shoulders giving way
You are not a god
It will only leave your broken

Its not you
A new shift brings
A change in seasons
The sunshine can sometimes fade
But you are not the reason

Its not you
Lay down your sadness
Be not the whipping boy
Your body is no sacrifice
The vultures circle you
Don’t let them get the prizeWww@QuestionHome@Com

To me it reads as an admonition to stand strong and have courage in the face of whoever or whatever (even the voices within) that would siren call us to be gods instead of freed up in our humanity!. Ego would have us aspire to great things and fall at great destruction, but humanity is simply what it is, without assumption of virtue, and it is therefore, free to be itself!.

This piece says not to be taken in by vanity or to perhaps fall victim to doubt and to steady the course and sail free!.
I like it very very much!. This is the kind of material one gets from the muse spirit, protecting the beloved soul who is the channel and flow of expression!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
