You are only a guest*
When an infant is born it is as innocent as can be
The eyes of such tender love that in wonder do see
As what this baby grows up and is taught
In essence it is from another that has their thoughts
But here is the tricky part as it is set on the long trail
That from those teachings comes eyes with a veil
Now all the long its subconsciousness sets in
A pattern with habits to do it again
Within these habits depends what it is about
It could be taught to live with all kinds of doubt
Hence its future does not seem to be appealing
And it is sabotaging its life in what its stealing
But some really get it, that is not them at all
They relearn what life is before they drown or take a fall
In knowing such knowledge and wisdom to boot
They seen something on the other side of their mind, another route
They now feel fulfilled with optimism and joy
They tricked their way of life to be better in another ploy
In doing so they see others that cannot see
They are no longer in that frame of mind, hence they are free
So now those seeing something of a purpose and meaning
Distortion from before, it was that focus they were leaning
In that case they can finish out their life happily before they rest
To know that they were not here to be attached but only be a guest
