Maybe
it’s
not always time for
Basketball Wives
True Blood
Dancing with the Stars
or
the 11 o’clock news
not
always time
to
click “Like”
become
entrenched in a
72-comment
conversation
on
Facebook
to
debate & protest
upload
risqué
bathroom-mirror
pics
or
flood the News Feed
with
virtual celebration
about
Kobe’s 17th
3-pointer
tonight
When’s
the last time
you
debated the deception
your
head has
you believing?
got
you wedged in relentless
unsavory
life patterns
questioning
your sanity
spinning
in a splintered cycle
Maybe
it’s
time to ask “why”
of
your substandard conditions
protest
your shortage of answers
ponder
your own fate
lament
less for others
not
that they aren’t important
but
if you deplete
your
energy on them
what's
left for you?
Or
maybe that’s your point
Maybe
it’s
time to visit
with
your shadow
find
out how it feels
about
trailing behind you
in
your eternal state of flux
ask
if it’s tired
of
watching you stumble
and
being dragged along
on
your rutted journey
apologize
for wild-goose chases
for
not giving better directions
invite
it to lead for a bit
so
you can
rewire
your GPS
Maybe
it’s
time to watch
your reality show
it’s
on right now
all
day
the
real
you
unstaged
in
need of your dominance
but
you’re on mute
cuz
you’re bored
confused
about the plot
afraid
of the conclusion
Maybe
it’s
time to “Like”
your
own
interests & opinions
comment
on your
behavior
upload
mental pics
of
your ambitions in fruition
unfriend
your ego’s drivel
friend
your higher self instead
star
in your own life
out-perform
yourself
make
your shadow proud
to
have you as its leader
Maybe
it’s
time
to
update your profile
offline
