You are only a guest*

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
