Absolute Ease
I don’t want to hear what you know
I want to know how you feel
Have you been to the dark places
Have you met your shadow side
Have you been the demons in your head
Have you met your self-deceiver
Have you gone through the pain
Not running from it, hiding in shame
But embracing the flame that engulfs you, consumes you, tempers you, transforms you
Burns away the outer shell, the superficial, the unnatural, leaving only what’s true
The voice from within
A clean page to begin
A life to create
A new you to make
Where you walk your talk
Beating your own drum
Dancing to the rhythm of your soul
Knowing what it’s like to be whole
Without fear, without shame, without the judge
You like it, you wear it
You want it, you have it
You feel it, you do it
Others may judge you with envy
But it’s ultimate freedom, absolute ease
A gift so precious it’s worth the pain
To find you for yourself to regain
I don’t want to hear what you know
I want to know how you feel
Have you been to the dark places
Have you met your shadow side
Have you been the demons in your head
Have you met your self-deceiver
Have you gone through the pain
Not running from it, hiding in shame
But embracing the flame that engulfs you, consumes you, tempers you, transforms you
Burns away the outer shell, the superficial, the unnatural, leaving only what’s true
The voice from within
A clean page to begin
A life to create
A new you to make
Where you walk your talk
Beating your own drum
Dancing to the rhythm of your soul
Knowing what it’s like to be whole
Without fear, without shame, without the judge
You like it, you wear it
You want it, you have it
You feel it, you do it
Others may judge you with envy
But it’s ultimate freedom, absolute ease
A gift so precious it’s worth the pain
To find you for yourself to regain
