To a friend-Take a look and give thoughts?

Question

Battle of One

Its not you

Put away the pain

Relax-Breathe in

Don’t get taken under

You don’t wear a cape

You are only human

Its not you

Shake away the hurt

Break through the doubt

Your candle’s flickering

Don’t let them snuff it out

Step away from their horns

Troubled matador

Don’t take on the brunt

It is far too much

You cannot take the crush

Stop placing fault

In your own reflection

Square shapes can’t

Fit into triangles

You are not the equation

To all of their problems

They need to find solution

Release this weight

It’s such a heavy burden

Pressing into your arches

Your shoulders giving way

You are not a god

It will only leave your broken

Its not you

A new shift brings

A change in seasons

The sunshine can sometimes fade

But you are not the reason

Its not you

Lay down your sadness

Be not the whipping boy

Your body is no sacrifice

The vultures circle you

Don’t let them get the prize

Answer 1

To me it reads as an admonition to stand strong and have courage in the face of whoever or whatever (even the voices within) that would siren call us to be gods instead of freed up in our humanity.  Ego would have us aspire to great things and fall at great destruction, but humanity is simply what it is, without assumption of virtue, and it is therefore, free to be itself.

This piece says not to be taken in by vanity or to perhaps fall victim to doubt and to steady the course and sail free.

I like it very very much.  This is the kind of material one gets from the muse spirit, protecting the beloved soul who is the channel and flow of expression.
