Spirit Bear

when you hurt others, you are only hurting yourself
when you are angry, you are punishing yourself
when you blame everyone else, you are hurting yourself
stop blaming everyone else for your anger
your anger is yours and yours alone
don't try and break off your anger
it will always be there.
there will always be a left end to the stick
but look to the right
towards the sun rise
not the storm clouds
clear the clouds from your mind
breathe
loose yourself
become invisible
touch spirit bear

when you forgive, you start to heal
when you dance the dance of mouse, you learn
when you dance the dance of eagle, you learn
when you dance the dance of beaver, you learn
dance the dance of anger
don't before your ready
you will know
dance the dance of anger
it will not end until you realize
one thing
until you say
i forgive you
forgive yourself
free yourself
breathe
loose yourself
become invisible
touch spirit bear

when you lie your whole life, no one will believe you
when you worm your way out of consequences, how will you convince others you've changed
when you sneer at those you've fooled, why should they help you?
but yet
why do they?
they help you
they don't abandon you
you were hurt
so were they
you were scared
even if you wouldn't admit it
so were they
its not shameful to be scared
admit that your scared
admit that you lied
change and then
only then
will they see
they will see
that you can tell the truth
that you did
that you breathed
that you lost yourself
that you became invisible
that you touched spirit bear
