I call this one “song of experience”.
you claim that i'm better than you, when in reality
i’m nothing but a practiced poor player
who knows how to call fire and gold from nothing but words
i stand before you and strut and fret my hour upon the stage
in much the same way i did since i was a child -
and when i became a teenager i found the voice of a haunted pipe organ
that only increased in volume and resonance with time and skill
and when i was 24 i unsexed myself and learned to roar
got some damned spots on my hands
(i roar about them, too)
i learned the difference between hard and soft, between open palms
and hidden knives
and built a cathedral for my pipe organ voice
burnt out like a caravan or a candle a time or nineteen
so don’t ever think you’re better than me
learn to screw your courage to the sticking place
dust off the keys, call the fire
and sing

#Allusions are one of the trickiest #LiteraryDevices to teach young people, largely because allusions by their very nature expect the reader to already understand people and events generally considered to be “common knowledge.”
You see the problem.

#People often #Say #Believe in #Yourself -
It's kinda an #Odd thing to say: We are not our #Self to begin with. We are a #Being that #Projects a #Self -
Believe in your #Soul #Live from your soul - Allow your #Spirit to become #Conscious #SpiritualConsciousness
If you lack #Discernment you'll get lost in the #Illusions & #Allusions of your #Projections of self.
#Humanity is being lead astray by many who are lost in theirselves & are #Ruled by their ego and its #Opinions & #Judgments
