They asked me

can you rise above yourself?
I said, I can stand on the top of the mountain.

They asked again,
“Do you still think you’ve risen above yourself once you reach there?”

I said, I think I can.

How?
It’s like bravery, you know
to rise among yourself and climb that mountain.

One must rise above doubt and negativity,
one must rise above shyness.

We’re all rising,
but we must also uplift others
give them arms when they can’t find their own.

Just imagine
you’ve reached the top of a cliff.
There’s abundant food, water, and peace.
If the one above you pulls you up,
then together, you create a happy, helpful community.

Yet if the person cuts the rope after reaching the top,
their society is already infected.

So remember,
you must rise above your greed.

“Oh, what else is there today to feed?”

No crowds

leave them.
They follow the noise,
chasing the glitter they’re fascinated by.

But I
I can’t be that magnet.
Or maybe I’m just a weak one.

That’s alright.

All I want to attract is love, peace, and positivism.
I want to be that aura
that lights the soul
for millions of years to come.

Oh light
just light.
