It is important to think not only of yourself all the time,
As it is in seeking others that you find you're true potential in rhyme;
When all is looking down and you are lost to the world in yourself,
You try looking up to someone else who is higher than all the books on the shelf.
God is like that in that he is always someone else that you can talk to,
When everything looks down God is up there waiting for you to look up;
And it's when we find our self at the bottom of the pit, someone else will help,
As God is like that someone else who help you see you can do better than yourself.
Like when you expect the best of yourself and something always lets you down,
So that when you fall short of yourself God can show you the whole town;
It's really quite a strange thing thinking we can do everything on our own,
And the beauty is in the tragedy knowing God beats you everytime.
Now the magic is to listen to what somebody else has got to say,
That at the end of the adventure you can earn something along the way;
It's not like it's all perfection thinking of yourself all the time,
But it's when you see the reflection of someone else who sees you fine.
For when we're all so introvert that no-one else and nothing else matters,
That the fears of condemnation and insecurity play and dwell on our mind;
Or when we think we need to concentration to think of nothing but ourselves,
That we're making someone else happy with the contemplation of our pen.
For there's a few good things about not thinking of myself all the time,
That when someone else matters to you the beauty you seek you find;
And all of the creation you like to keep all bottled up to yourself,
Is best opening and drunk like all the ink in the books on the shelf.
Signed,
God beats me
