Crowded Measures

Sit still enough, you can vibrate off the pulling pressures.

Harlem shake on, looking for the hidden treasures.

In Disguise, doing whatever that's clever, to not be recognized...

Falsehoods on promises... will have you "wishing, could've, that

would…" Before finishing the sentence, one is met with resistance.

Truth is, despite the letdown. Yield to Act out of desperation.

In the early phase, when you sat with yourself.

There was your guidance. We often miss it.

Looking to claim The glamorized prize.

No lie, go back and retrieve the true gifts you overlooked…

Seek deeply rooted inside.
