lyrics

Even though I sometimes experience anxiety or depression
I fully love and accept myself. And I question
If depression's a reflection of compassion and empathy
And anxiety of mission Impossible to please everybody. Then you see
Despite the fact that I'm not that rich or famous (yet) I fully love and respect myself. Aim to be shameless, yep,
Shame is fear of being ostracized, kicked out the cave by the tribe, ...but you've got to be yourself to attract peeps on your vibe....
I may not be a megastar but mission accomplished,
I'll never know how many I inspired... worldwide.
Content with respect... ive seen people cry 
at poetry my soul had to write, sometimes didn't even have to try.
Crying at poems that seemed written synchronistically specifically
for that specific moment of inspiring lyrically
A friend told me one of my lyrics changed his life.
"Vulnerability is a strength." I'm saying this twice.
Vulnerability is a strength and repression or suppression 
only leads to depression, so heal it with expression.
Even though I know ego, lust and anger and pride
Tend not to help but only add to a bumpy ride,
I still feel and sometimes indulge in negative emotions.
Even though I studied Buddha, Christ and the Tao with devotion
I still fully love, appreciate, am grateful for and accept 
My negative emotions and maintain my self respect. It's not about over indulging in negativity, just not living in denial or in shame, let it be.
We can be hard as Pai Mei on ourselves sometimes on spiritual quests. Remember just like everyone else we're trying our best. Stop intellectualising sometimes, just for a moment... drop your shoulders and rest...


Vulnerability is strength... If a swim to da deep end better swim the length... I t'ink we need to find new positive jobs for da soldiers. Stop stressing... relax... drop your shoulders. 

Vulnerability is strength... If you swim to the deep end better swim the length...
