Humility over humiliation

What is life
But a one shot deal
To grow in spirit 
By being real

Real as in humble
Not full of pride
Or living a lie
Or trying to hide

The faults and flaws
The wrongs you do
Because only truth
Will get you through

To the other side 
The one of spirit
So speak what's real
So the world can hear it

Don't be fake
Or make a show
Of all you want 
Others to know

That ain't the real 
And honest way
To say what you do
And do what you say

I'm not calling out
All of the liars
But if you are a fake
You best tend to your fires

Because bridges they burn
And you can't go back
If integrity is gone
And character you lack

Think on how 
You want it to end
Can you forgive all you've done
Will the fences soon mend? 

It's not about you
Or all that you've got
It's what you let go 
Did you do it or not? 

Did you hold on to anger
Did you make love to hate
Or did you find your real purpose
It's never too late

To leave the person 
Inside that brings down
All of your dreams 
Makes you look like a clown

Be love and be strong
Be good and be right
Follow the spirit
Within day and night 

Others will notice 
And respect who you are 
Some will dispise you 
And talk from afar

But worry about nothing
Except your own heart
Can you live with yourself
Well at least that's a start
