This is not a test.
This is not a test.
Stay tuned to yourself, this is not a test.
During the next sixty seconds
you are asked to consider:
"Am I good to myself?"
Begin now.
Are you good to yourself?
Or, do you while away your days,
denying praise
that you have received
for what you've conceived
and brought into being...
your self?
Yes, You.
Heart of light, beaming bright,
your spirit sight focusing
within your bright light.
Or, are you dark, feeling stark,
cold and angry and off your mark?
You are true to yourself, always,
true, true, true...
Denying to praise all,
or, trying reappraisal,
you are true, and someone, always,
loving you,
is lost in your self denial.
Then redial to...
tune in your virtue, your beauty.
Magnificence within you behold, let be told...
the truth of your grace,
you exhibit it, live it.
You have love, you are love, and can only love...
My love,
do not test it.
