BELIEF

Saved for

The biggies

The show stoppers

The do’s and dont’s

The big curves in life

When you want

That car to roll out

To one side

And your passengers

Take notice

It’s you at the wheel

Even if you want

To impress yourself

Really make a good start

Impetus drive intent

On the other hand

I can believe my

Own lie by believing it

Let myself off the hook

Of reality or promise

Change my mind

When I shouldn’t

I really don’t care

Deep down inside

But I’ll put this

Coat of wax

On the outside

Make it look shiny

And good believable

When someone challenges

My true belief

It comes in handy

Something about it

It’s just a word

After all

One we have to have

For that moment when

We are so full of ourselves

We need to remind

Well everyone

Even ourselves

That we have them

Did I say there

We’re more than one

Oh dear

It’s a bigger problem

Than I thought
