my ego is in a spin because it can’t get me to do myself in

and no matter how it tried i didn’t need an alibi

words thrown around are like jagged spikes so you have to be careful when you know it time for a hike

i acknowledged that it was getting hot, so i removed myself before i forgot, what a drag it is to make amends, for the same damn thing over and over again

so i heard the whistle from the train rounding the bend and it was ready as usual to pick me up again, and i would man the shovel and put coal in the hole and we would gather speed until we lost control

but when the train stopped to pick me up, i waved them through i wasn’t coming on board and the ego train rolled down the track and i could see the conductor looking back

it seemed as though they disappeared and i stood on the platform and shed a few tears

i can’t say i did my best, but this is the first time i recognized the test……………..i didn’t pass with honors but at least i passed and today my emotions did not create the same old mess

so one man is clapping and it feels pretty good, you have to acknowledge the victories especially when you realize that you can actually choose

it’s your life………………………………………………..own it
