I chased life I chased dreams I chased hopes I chased pleasures I chased desires Across clear streams And through bright forests I lived for the future I lived in the past In that I denied the present I lived on what I will be tomorrow I lived on what I was yesterday In that I rejected who I am today I lived on what I will have I lived on what I had In all I forgot to be grateful For all that I am It never served me But fed my ego Fed my mind Fed my emotions Fed my insecurities Fed my fears Fed the notion I was not enough I have been driven by others I have been driven by life I have been driven by everything around me Now I choose to be Driven by Theïkós Now I choose to be Guided by Illahi Now I choose to allow The soul to speak Now I choose to allow The soul to lead I no longer want what they have I no longer want to become what they are I no longer want to become what I am not I am no longer attached to my past I am no longer attached to my future I am no longer attached to the known As I seek to find myself in the unknown Their parameters Are no longer my measure of success Their labels Are no longer my self-identity Their conditions No longer form my reality Their successes No longer dictate my purpose Now Infinite possibilities Infinite opportunities Infinite blessings Open I accept myself Thank you for being here!

The Chase
I chased life I chased dreams I chased hopes I chased pleasures I chased desires Across clear streams And through bright forests I lived for the future I lived in the past In that I denied the present I lived on what I will be tomorrow I lived on what I was yesterday In that I rejected who I am today I lived on what I will have I lived on what I had In all I forgot to be grateful For all that I am It never served me But fed my ego Fed my mind Fed my emotions Fed my insecurities Fed my fears Fed the notion I was not enough I have been driven by others I have been driven by life I have been driven by everything around me Now I choose to be Driven by Theïkós Now I choose to be Guided by Illahi Now I choose to allow The soul to speak Now I choose to allow The soul to lead I no longer want what they have I no longer want to become what they are I no longer want to become what I am not I am no longer attached to my past I am no longer attached to my future I am no longer attached to the known As I seek to find myself in the unknown Their parameters Are no longer my measure of success Their labels Are no longer my self-identity Their conditions No longer form my reality Their successes No longer dictate my purpose Now Infinite possibilities Infinite opportunities Infinite blessings Open I accept myself Thank you for being here!
