...an easy way out,



I was looking for an easy way out,
one that wouldn't damage my hide or my arrogant pride.

My mind was always looking,
for an easy way through.
One that wouldn't seriously test me,
or expect me to be true.

I was looking for comfort 
and I was looking to relax.
I wanted to have fun 
and I wanted to chillax.

I wasn't looking for challenges,
or for time on the edge.

I was happy in ignorance,
with no desire to pledge.

But then I woke up 
and realized I, was totally alone.

I didn't like who I’d become, 
and I wanted to go home.

There was a spark in my heart,
that got me to here.

With the help of my Guru,
the maya is starting to clear.

The ignorance has shrunk,
and the sweetness has grown.

I’ve watered it well,
and I’m no longer alone.
