Paradox

Far too often many focus on prosperity
When they need to get busy cherishing
Analyze their surroundings to acquire more clarity
To not take things for granted as time is perishing

Instead of looking for the next best thing
Let's enjoy what's already been obtained
Stop fixating on getting more chains and rings
Appreciate the health that was there for all that was gained

Time progresses at an alarming rate these days
Lots of changes take place so suddenly
Chaos flows and patience wears thin as war is in play
Nothing getting settled as leaders want to fulfill their gluttony

Hazardous to the rest of us trying to move forward
Wishing to experience an element of peace
So the goals we have are more straightforward
We just want the unnecessary challenges to cease

At the same time we have to realize it's about the unseen
Everything that is in sight isn't the whole picture
There's many antics and tactics putting rifts in between
Which is why it is important to get familiar with scripture

Murky

It takes courage to remain bold in the face of adversity
Some people can be bought out of their integrity
It's sad to witness people prioritizing money over all
When it has been proven to only lead to a downfall

Colored paper doesn't make you a superior person
Currency has definitely made individuals consistently worsen
Over time you've seen violence, blackmail, and betrayal to name a few
None of which has improved those involved, instead their problems only grew

A quagmire arises every time greed is present
Many cultures have went into a great descent
Collapsing due to poor decisions by those in charge
The examples throughout history are rather large

In a generation that emphasizes a selfish nature
We must take heed to the mistakes of past behavior
Bravery doesn't come from trampling others
It is defined by standing up and protecting one another

Success can't be witnessed if there's no one to see it
Making a known impact is what makes the effort legit
Why work hard if it doesn't produce anything significant
A legacy only exists through meaningful connections to a great extent

Memories

A memory is something that can last forever
Embedded into the lives of all those involved in the endeavor
Something that spans the test of time
Shaping actions over the course of the climb

Some perceive them differently than others
Wanting to recreate the same or develop another
Variations take place as perceptions differ
But one thing is for certain that they flow like a river

Continuing on throughout the ups and downs
Bringing a smile to those who may consistently frown
Uplifting those who may otherwise drown
Encouraging those to achieve instead of acting like a clown

A memory can be a lot of things
A permanent stake never a fling
A cyclical moment of special activity
A stamp of value marking connectivity

Whatever they mean to you it is profound
They allow you to escape a current battleground
Influence you to exceed an expectation
Therefore it is important to honor them in all situations

Direction

Salutations fair madame and good sir
It's hard finding others who are pure
Those striving to improve on the day to day
Leaving behind their mistakes and old ways

Seizing opportunities to leave addictions behind
Looking around for a better purpose to find
Seeking truth in the midst of all the lies
To no longer deal with tears flowing from their eyes

People who wish to activate gratitude instead of anxiety
Appreciating the essence of being humble rather than notoriety
An individual who doesn't want to impose negativity
Rather chooses to induce every aspect of positivity

Unafraid to take accountability when they mess up
Aiming to fill instead of empty someone elses cup
A person who aspires to be as authentic as can be
So that genuineness is what everyone around them sees

It's tough to tell who really is what they say they are
With all the fakes attempting to deceive everyone under the stars
Comparison has stolen away many people's joy
Please don't succumb to its attempts to destroy

With all the experiences being different
It's normal to have a variety of interests
Don't let opinions occupy your thoughts as fact
Stand firm in your passion to pursue pleasant acts

We can only control so much the rest isn't worth the stress
If someone finds it necessary to interrupt your peace just leave that mess
Toxicity seems to be the leading cause of dismantling connections
Don't let that drag you down to drown your motivation or retrospection

Turmoil

Many people close their eyes to a chasm of darkness
Welcoming a plethora of fears they can't harness
Things out of their control inducing stress
Hindering their thoughts and turning their sleep into a mess

Regardless of wanting escape they don't seek a change
They continue down the same path to a further range
Exploring more antics that make them dwindle
A rigorous process that incites doom to kindle

Creating more negativity to swirl around
An unnecessary evil they allow a firm root into the ground
When will they learn the art of discernment
Choosing their battles based on factual elements

Far too many overthink or fabricate endless possibilities
Leading to a distraction that pushes them into disability
Depression runs rampant on these types of individuals
Leading them astray from their initial principles

There's a hope that far exceeds this consistent gloom
They just have to choose to allow it into the room
Open the door of their heart without hesitation
To alleviate the pressures of the mind that create frustration

Outside sources shouldn't control the internal
Besides, all of this is temporary so focus on the eternal
The livelihood you wish to enjoy doesn't last forever
Stop allowing the blight to steal time away from your endeavor

It's hard for anyone to progress if they're stuck in chains
Seek the outlet that can release you from the pains
Not a substance, but rather the long lasting promise
Equip yourself properly for the fight with biblical elegance

Tethered

Sometimes there’s a link that we cannot explain
Something that’s just always there sustained
The memories and experiences tied together
Even if time shared hasn’t happened in forever

Subtleties arise from various things
Constantly circling our mind like a ring
Recollections shaped in the littlest of ways
Framed together from the good ole days

The distance doesn’t matter in the least
The connection remains there to feast
Occupying our thoughts for some reason
Even if at times it feels like treason

Nobody wants to waste space
We’d rather have smiles on our face
We question why certain memories are replayed
In those moments we feel betrayed

Even if it’s only the ones of great quality
We know that situation ended honestly
For better or worse it all occurred
We can’t change it now so we remain tethered

Reboot

A lot of people looking for a fresh start
But doing so without a pure heart
Stuck in the pain of yesterday
Caught in the midst of confusion at play

Left wondering why the past didn't work
Frozen in the present with no perks
Wanting a future that doesn't align
With the actions they take each time

Hoping for something to take place
While sorrow remains written all over their face
No effort to quell the darkness they jump for
So more of the same continues to be in store

Depression isn't something anyone deserves
Anxiety isn't meant to be common for our nerves
The decisions we make and thoughts we entertain
All play a role in exactly what it is our life gains

In order to experience bliss you have to eliminate stress
If you want happiness then get rid of the toxic mess
In order to stop feeling alone step out of your isolation
If you want relationship then make meaningful connections

What works for someone else may not aid you
We're all unique in what our purpose calls us to do
Seek passion over pleasure as one is inherent
While the other is just a temporary fling that can be errant

There's only one you that will ever exist
Don't let your life evaporate like mist
Time is your most important asset
So utilize it with a zestful mindset

Next steps

'Tis the season to find a reason
To rid yourself from the treason
Get away from the self sabotage and hateful thoughts
That plague your mind through what depression brought

Find the silver lining that opens to hope
That definitively denies the doubts telling them NOPE
Not today, not this time... they're not in control anymore
It's time to let yourself once again explore

Get back to a sense of happiness and innocence
Press forward toward the goals that once gave you ambitiousness
Unveil the real conqueror within that doesn't settle for failure
Who overcomes the problems with solutions and grandeur

Someone that no longer views issues as a breaking point
Rather a stepping stone to learn and grow reaching a checkpoint
A place that allows you to reflect on what you've accomplished
The things you've built and what's to come next to make you more polished

Acquire the intangibles to see who it is you're truly meant to be
Someone who puts one foot in front of the other steadfastly
Marching toward the unique purpose only you can fulfill
Living the life that is your sole existence with confidence instilled

DNA

In a world that wants quick satisfaction
There’s far too many pitfalls that are distractions
Fallen to a nature that is seeking the temporary
Enticed by every aspect of the adversary

People focused on the flesh rather than the spirit
Too many don’t believe that their life is worth it
Worth the future that awaits them to create
Or worth the time it takes to build something great

Fooled into self loathing and depressive thoughts
Rather than being productive as they once were taught
Swayed into developing a selfish personality
Instead of one that uplifts others in their vicinity

Hardly anyone seems to be truly thankful these days
As they seem to be going through the motions like a charade
There’s so much to be grateful for if we take an honest look
The evidence is pretty clear right within the good book

Nobody likes being lied to, but not many seek the truth
Don’t be tricked into wasting or betraying your youth
The plague of the insane isn’t one to submit to
There’s a cure that resides deep inside you

Obscurity

It use to be said often to “use your imagination”
Nowadays it’s turned into an abomination
People all across several beautiful nations
Claiming that their delusions are proper foundations

Blurring the lines of reality and fantasy
Pushing the boundaries of common decency
Trying to dictate what others believe
Releasing a plethora of nonsense in order to deceive

A lot of aspects are upside down and inside out
Creating a whirlwind of constant doubt
It’s hard for anyone to think clearly
Since essentially no information is delivered sincerely

There’s always an adverse angle or hidden agenda
Some form of blatant brainwash style propaganda
Regardless of your age or location it appears to remain
That integrity has been lost and replaced with disdain

A flood of indecision and constant combat
Has caused various societies to fall flat
If the culture turns into chaos nobody wins
So identify the wickedness and turn away the sins
