In the Spotlight

You know that feeling when

You do wrong to people
And you're later forgiven
But everytime with them
It feels awkward again;
Or when you dump her
And then start to regret
Because you want to go back
But there's no way she'll accept.
Those feelings of regret so heavy
That you can't express freely
Those mixed emotions so deadly
They easily kill your personality
And so painfully humiliating
You walk with your head hanging.
These embarrassing encounters
Are experienced by everyone alive
In many different scenarios:
When they try to fit in new company
And end up trying too hard to please
When one stands up in protest
And no-one stands with him
Or when you meet that special person
And get that weird feeling
Which causes things to go wrong;
But we focus so much on ourselves
Forgetting others also do struggle,
Every mind is dangerously fragile
Every heart is easily broken
And every soul can get lonely.

You're in charge of who you are
Many suggest and you can object
They give opinions you make decisions;
But everybody has a chance
To either be selfless or selfish
When a selfish person falls it's funny
When the selfless fall we worry.

So this is the main point here
We are all created the same
But some get better results
In very similar scenarios,
But the person you are now
Is who you believe you are!
Two brothers were given seeds
One ate and one planted

It doesn't mean seed is special

The way one uses it makes him special.

Two people were given money

One saved and one invested

Often those who are stewards

Get a great honourable reward

That's why tax is due

And overtax is fraud.

A mango tree doesn't eat mangos
But it produces them seasonally
That's true selfless attitude.

You're not in the cheering audience

Neither are you the backup on stage

You're not even the star on the stage

And there's a Director of the script

Making all things work to His intellect

But you're the controller of your spotlight.

Feelings are simply senses in the body

Thoughts are the ideas you can execute

But revelation is a key to the real you

Your spirit is your true identity

But pollution in your mind can manipulate it

Everyone wants to take charge of your spotlight

To shine it in the places they see as might

And to take control of who you are, they'll fight

But if you can put on the switch

Then control where the lights are bright

You'll have true sight and truth comes to light.

Everything you experience

Can either make you or break you

It's a shame for some to fail

But for others it's a glory

To learn a lesson from it

The earth is useless without sunlight

So are we without a spotlight.
