The last one.

I'm the last one listening to myself.
the last one to follow.
preaching others all the time,
while my own conscience is hollow.

every day, is a day of two lives.
the calm one for the world to see,
and the unrestful for mine.
Each day, is a day of battle.
between the legitimate me, and
the abhorred creation of my own mind.
I lose the battle, but I will win the war.
I will pull my reigns, whenever I go far.
I will bask in the glory,
of man's strong will.

Ruminate over every action,
ponder over every thought.
Start with small steps,
and success will not be far.
I'm the God of my life.
I can end all my strifes.
But, I'm the last one listening to myself.
the last one to follow.
preaching others all the time,
while my own conscience is hollow.

A life spent in constant effort to balance life and all it's aspects is a life worth living. We all face problems and we all face strife. But that man who understands that all that is happening to him is a result of his own actions - and inactions - will never suffer as much as other people do. He will accept his current position, and then start working to make it better. You have to be conscious of every moment of your life. You have to c...
