The Art of You - Poetry

The greatest enemy/ that we will ever face (yeah?)
Is ourselves/and that's the base
of human existence/battle hardened warriors (wicha)
lose in an instance/ turned to emotional worriers
trauma begins/our mind masturbates
no understanding/and explanations fabricate
elaborate/on myths generating hate
that we create/misunderstandings complicate (complicated)
relationships/broken from problems so lightweight
the mastery of the mind/removes these issues off our plate (gone)
dastardly deeds/ keep em moving just like freight
spend your time dealing in the real/ not the fake
weighed down the nonexistent/drama creeps around
break down emotional frowns/flipped upside down
take sound advice from friends/and family in your life
but ultimately only you/can manage strain and strife
Pain can hurt you for years/or it can hurt you for seconds
That's why your own mind/is such a powerful weapon
It can bring you to tears/but it's all between the ears
Strict training and discipline/and you rid all your fears
So create joy within/and forget about the hating (forget it)
because you never face you're demons/if you don't create them
I'm immune to emotional self harm/I create higher living
My mind can overcome/and so can anyone else that's willing
Its not the art of war like sun tzu
Its the art of you so what you gonna do?
Are you willing to rattle yourself for mental wealth
Are you willing to battle self for mental health
If you are mentally strong/ you overcome obstacles (overcome)
It's what's deep within/that gives light to oracles
The onus is on you/for what happens on this earth
Our paths are chosen by ourselves/from the moment of birth
Be aware of your surroundings/ and Control your emotions/
If you start with solid grounding/you avoid all commotions
Some people need to create drama/to draw the attention
The true art of zen needs nada/knowledge is retention
Valuable life lessons/self awareness and reflection
Its true that what is known/never has to be mentioned
Create your own happiness/ and you never have to be fed
Instead of self destruction/choose your better self instead
Its not the art of war like sun tzu
Its the art of you so what you gonna do?
Are you willing to rattle yourself for mental wealth
Are you willing to battle self for mental health
that which creates harmony/ is truly at peace (peace yall)
attack the hardened artery/melt the deep freeze (melt it)
Relax, and be water/then you will be released
for that's our true armoury/the ability to be at ease
Tranquillity is a state/we all wish to reach/
it's so simple to attain/there's no need to preach (no need)
It's a stable environment/it's how you use your eyes (use em)
View different angles/use context see truth and lies
Maybe All these ideas/have already been said
From my perspective/it's from guys already dead
It's my DNA strand/that creates a positive plan
and hey not every individual/hypothesizes on man
Its not the art of war like sun tzu
Its the art of you so what you gonna do?
Are you willing to rattle yourself for mental wealth
Are you willing to battle self for mental health
Its not the art of war like sun tzu
Its the art of you so what you gonna do?
Are you willing to rattle yourself for mental wealth
Are you willing to battle self for mental health
