Taking Ownership

 
All my young life I read what I was spoon fed in that little circle
And yet when I went outside that ring, thinking outside the box
The fear was that I was stepping going into dangerous ground
That somehow opening my eyes was going to be some paradox

It was then that I had to put some critical thinking skills to use
Was I lied to or just sheltered by those who only knew what they knew?
Or was their fear a way to keep subjugated to an old dogma ?
But that was slowly changing inside of me as I gradually grew

With knowledge comes power and ownership of the life we lead
We can read and study the greats to give us some inspiration
We become the prophecies and destinies we find within ourselves
Discovering our inner purpose with depth and strong foundation
