White Flag

White Flag

A Poem by Jen
"

This thing is kind of all over the place, but it speaks of seeing everything in a different way. Ending the civil war in our minds. Enjoy.

"
We're our own biggest critics
Always at war with what we are
And what we're told we should be

This here, is a message to the man
I'm wavin' a white flag
And there's not a damn thing you can do

When you look in the mirror,
Taking a beating from societies misconceptions
If only you could see what I see

I see a a fighter, a love fighter
Fighting for the love in the world
Rightfully your own

I see a masterpiece, in the making
Travelling through time, through space
A race through my mind.

I see strength, beyond any body builder
Strength of the heart, the mind, the soul
I see the beauty, young, yet old

An old soul reaches out to another,
Desperately clinging to their lost youth
Their beauty lost in a world where perfection
Is nowhere to be found by the eyes of most

My eyes are not tainted
By the word of 'the man'
I see things for what they are,
And if you take my hand,
You'll see it too

So let's all wave a white flag
In the civil war in our minds
Let's see what truths we can find.
